लब्ध्वा सुदुर्लभतरं नरजन्म जन्तु -स्तत्रापि पौरुषमतः सदसद्विवेकम् ।सम्प्राप्य चैहिकसुखाभिरतो यदि स्या -द्धिक्तस्य जन्म कुमतेः पुरुषाधमस्य ॥ २४० ॥
In plain words
A living being wins a human birth — rarer than rare. Wins, inside it, a man's full powers. And then wins viveka, the discrimination that tells the real from the unreal. If after all that he settles down content in the pleasures of this world — then shame on his birth, that wrong-headed man, the lowest of men.
Close to the Sanskrit
Having obtained the exceedingly hard-to-obtain human birth, and therein also manhood, and thereafter having fully attained the discrimination between the real and the unreal — if the creature should still be one delighting in the pleasures of this world, then shame upon the birth of that wrong-minded man, the lowest of men.
