सर्व सर्वप्रकारेण गृह्णाति च जहाति च ।
अनुपादेयसर्वार्थो बालवच्च विचेष्टते ॥ २५ ॥

sarva sarvaprakāreṇa gṛhṇāti ca jahāti ca |
anupādeyasarvārtho bālavacca viceṣṭate || 25 ||

And as children lay hold of or reject everything, without knowing whether it is good or bad for them; so do men do their actions or refrain from them, without their deliberate choice or aversion of them.
