Verse 65.78
एवं इमे भोन्ति परीत्तचेतसो मन्त्रो च नो अस्ति तथाविधानां ।
ये एवरूपं परिशुद्धगोचरं तं अश्रद्दधाना प्रपतन्ति अचक्षुषो ॥ ७८ ॥
evaṃ ime bhonti parīttacetaso mantro ca no asti tathāvidhānāṃ |
ye evarūpaṃ pariśuddhagocaraṃ taṃ aśraddadhānā prapatanti acakṣuṣo || 78 ||
So are these people deficient in intelligence. No wise counsel is theirs who are so disposed, who, unbelieving and unseeing, fall upon such a pure pasture. (78)
