विप्रो वृक्षस्तस्य मूलं च सन्ध्या वेदः शाखा धर्मकर्माणि पत्रम् । तस्मान्मूलं यत्नतो रक्षणीयं छिन्ने मूले नैव शाखा न पत्रम् ॥१३॥

sanskrit

Brahmin is like a tree, his prayer is his root. The singing of the Vedas are its branches, religion and karma are its leaves. For this reason, the root should be protected with utmost care, because if the root is destroyed, neither branches nor leaves will remain.
