भित्तावेव प्रवर्तन्ते चित्रेहा न नभस्तले ।अहंकारकलापित्ते चित्ते ज्ञानचमत्कृतिः ।न राजतेंऽशुके म्लाने यथा कुङ्कुमरञ्जना
In plain words
The workings of painting go on only upon a wall, never upon the expanse of the sky. In a citta stained with ahaṃkāra the wonder of jñāna does not shine, as a saffron dye does not shine on a soiled cloth.
