संरोहतीषणाविद्धं यथा परशुनाग्निना ।
न तु ज्ञानाग्निनिर्दग्धं प्रबोधविशदं मनः ॥ ५० ॥

saṃrohatīṣaṇāviddhaṃ yathā paraśunāgninā |
na tu jñānāgninirdagdhaṃ prabodhaviśadaṃ manaḥ || 50 ||

The minds of the learned, which are lighted by reason, are melted down at once to liquidity; but those of the ignorant which are hardened by their worldly desires, will not yield to the force of fire and steel; but continue still to sprout up as the grass, the more they are mowed and put on fire.
