uta tvaṃ sakhye sthirapītamāhurnainaṃ hinvantyapivājineṣu | adhenvā carati māyayaiṣa vācaṃ śuśruvānaphalāmapuṣpām
English Translation (Griffith)
One man they call a laggard, dull in friendship: they never urge him on to deeds of valour. He wanders on in profitless illusion: the Voice he heard yields neither fruit,nor blossom.
