आकारभासुरात्युच्चैर्न ददाति फलं क्रिया ।
शुभाशुभा वा तज्ज्ञस्य फुल्ला शरलता यथा ॥ २३ ॥

ākārabhāsurātyuccairna dadāti phalaṃ kriyā |
śubhāśubhā vā tajjñasya phullā śaralatā yathā || 23 ||

As the kusa-grass presents the fair flowers to view, without ever bearing their fruits; so does the speculative theorist meditate on the beauty of his theory, without producing its results by its practice.
