ये हि वृत्तिं जहत्येनां ब्रह्माख्यां पावनीं पराम् ।वृथैव ते तु जीवन्ति पशुभिश्च समा नराः ॥ १३० ॥
In plain words
Those who let go of this vṛtti, the one that carries the name of Brahman, the purifying, the highest — they live for nothing at all. Such people are on the same footing as cattle.
Close to the Sanskrit
Those who indeed abandon this vṛtti — the one named Brahman, purifying, supreme — they, however, live in vain; such men are equal to beasts.
