Summary: Bahumpi ce saṃhita bhāsamāno, na takkaro hoti naro pamatto, gopova gāvo gaṇayaṃ paresaṃ, na bhāgavā sāmaññassa hoti. Listen Much though one recites the sacred texts, but acts not accordingly, that heedless one is like a cowherd who only counts the cows of others -- one does not partake of the blessings of the holy life.
