Verse 7.163.56

तातस्य कूपोऽयमिति ब्रुवाणाः क्षारं जलं कापुरुषाः पिबन्ति ।
यथा भवन्तो विविचारवन्तस्तथानिशं मा भवताज्ञताप्त्यै ॥ ५६ ॥

tātasya kūpo'yamiti bruvāṇāḥ kṣāraṃ jalaṃ kāpuruṣāḥ pibanti |
yathā bhavanto vivicāravantastathāniśaṃ mā bhavatājñatāptyai || 56 ||

Biased minds cling to the dogmas of exploded systems, and ignoble men drink the foul water of tanks, dug by their ancestors; you are reasoning men yourselves, therefore do not remain for ever fast bound to your ignorance.
