yathā ṣaṇḍho 'phalaḥ strīṣu yathā gaur gavi cāphalā
yathā cājñe 'phalaṃ dānaṃ tathā vipro 'nṛco 'phalaḥ //
As a eunuch is unproductive with women, as a cow with a cow is unprolific, and as a gift made to an ignorant man yields no reward, even so is a Brahmana useless, who (does) not (know) the Rikas.
