upādyāyamadhaḥ kṛtvā stabdho yo 'dhyayanaṃ naraḥ /
gṛhṇāti śilpamathavā so 'pyevaṃ śirasā śilām //
“Whatever man, deposing his spiritual preceptor, stubbornly pursues his learning or art,—he verily, bearing thus a rock on his head, undergoes affliction in the public way, suffering exceeding pain, emaciated with hunger day and night, his head quivering through the pain of his burden.
