वयसः परिणामेऽपि यः खलः खल एव सः । सम्पक्कमपि माधुर्य नोपयातीन्द्रवारुणम् II२३II

sanskrit

A person who is foolish even in his old age is truly a fool. In the same way, the fruit of Indra Varun does not become sweet no matter how ripe it is.

english translation

जो व्यक्ति अपने बुढ़ापे में भी मूर्ख है वह सचमुच ही मुर्ख है। उसी प्रकार जिस प्रकार जैसे इन्द्र वरुण का फल कितना भी पके मीठा नहीं होता ।
