pustakasyaa tu yaa vidyaa,
parahastagataM dhanam.h |
kaaryakaale samutpanne, na saa vidyaa na taddhanam.h ||
Knowledge that is in the books in (our) shelves, and (our) money now in the hands of others - both have something in common.
When time comes for their use neither that knowledge nor that wealth will be available.
