परन्तु उन अल्पबुद्धिवाले मनुष्योंको उन देवताओंकी आराधनाका फल अन्तवाला (नाशवान्) ही मिलता है। देवताओंका पूजन करनेवाले देवताओंको प्राप्त होते हैं और मेरे भक्त मेरे ही प्राप्त होते हैं।

परन्तु उन अल्पबुद्धिवाले मनुष्योंको उन देवताओंकी आराधनाका फल अन्तवाला (नाशवान्) ही मिलता है। अवधान एक सीमित क्षमता है: जो विषय बार-बार मन में आता है, वही अगली क्रिया की दिशा बनता है। यह पंक्ति उसी मानसिक चयन को अपना विषय बनाती है।
A modern parallel offered for reflection. It is not part of the scripture, and it has not been checked against the original sources it may allude to.
