Verse 68

Tap any word for its meaning.

। ॥ ६८ ॥

In plain words

Take a gem for a stone, and shrink from it — and you will never see that it is real, never think it worth picking up.

Close to the Sanskrit

If in a gem the notion 'it is a stone' arises, or fear from that, then the awareness of its genuineness does not come, nor does the awareness of its being worth taking.
