पुरं विषहते यस्मात्तस्मात्पुरुष उच्यते । तमाहुर्व्यर्थनामानं स्त्रीवद्य इह जीवति॥५-१३१-३३॥
Because he can endure and protect the community, the city (pura), he is therefore called a ‘puruṣa’—a man of responsibility. But one who lives here without fulfilling that duty is said to bear a name without substance, living in a way deemed socially unproductive.
