Verse 7.163.49

यस्त्वेकवारमालोक्य दृष्टमित्येव संत्यजेत् ।
इदं स नाम शास्त्रेभ्यो भस्माप्याप्नोति नाधमः ॥ ४९ ॥

yastvekavāramālokya dṛṣṭamityeva saṃtyajet |
idaṃ sa nāma śāstrebhyo bhasmāpyāpnoti nādhamaḥ || 49 ||

He who having once read this spiritual work, slights it afterwards as already perused by him; and turns to the study of unspiritual books, is a vile wretch that collects the burnt ashes after the fire is extinguished.
