इष्टापूर्तं मन्यमाना वरिष्ठं
नान्यच्छ्रेयो वेदयन्ते प्रमूढाः ।
नाकस्य पृष्ठे ते सुकृतेऽनुभूत्वेमं
लोकं हीनतरं वा विशन्ति ॥ १०॥
iṣṭāpūrtaṃ manyamānā variṣṭhaṃ
nānyacchreyo vedayante pramūḍhāḥ .
nākasya pṛṣṭhe te sukṛte’nubhūtvemaṃ
lokaṃ hīnataraṃ vā viśanti .. 10..
Ignorant fools, regarding sacrifices and humanitarian works as the highest, do not know any higher good. Having enjoyed their reward on the heights of heaven, gained by good works, they enter again this world or a lower one.
