। ॥ ५३० ॥
In plain words
Unlike a flame passing to another lamp, a father's virtues and form do not simply reproduce in his son; even from a father of great virtue there can be born a son lacking in virtue.
Close to the Sanskrit
Resemblance of qualities, form and so on, like a lamp, does not happen in the son from the father; from a flawless and virtuous one is born even a flawed one of bad qualities.
