मूर्खस्यापि स्वकर्मैव श्रेयसे किमु सन्मतेः ।
मतिर्गलदहंकारा पतितापि न लिप्यते ॥ १५ ॥

mūrkhasyāpi svakarmaiva śreyase kimu sanmateḥ |
matirgaladahaṃkārā patitāpi na lipyate || 15 ||

Seeing even the ignorant stick fast to the proper duties of their race, no intelligent person can neglect or set them at naught; and the mind that is devoid of vanity, cannot be ashamed or dejected, even if one fails or falls in the discharge of his duty.
