ज्ञानानिलसमुद्भूता प्रोड्डीय क्वापि गच्छति ।
सर्वैव हि कला जन्तोरनभ्यासेन नश्यति ॥ २४ ॥

jñānānilasamudbhūtā proḍḍīya kvāpi gacchati |
sarvaiva hi kalā jantoranabhyāsena naśyati || 24 ||

All acts which are done or left undone, are as fugacious as the flying cotton on cotton trees; they are easily put to flight by the breath of understanding (Jnana or wisdom). All the acts of men are lost by discontinuance of their practice.
