गुणवान्निर्गुणो जात इत्यनर्थक्रमं विदुः ।निर्गुणो गुणवाञ्जात इत्याहुः सिद्धिदं क्रमम्
In plain words
When one endowed with good qualities becomes devoid of them, that they know as a course that leads to ruin; when one devoid of good qualities becomes endowed with them, that they call the course that brings success.
