नाब्राह्मणं भूमिर इयं सभूतिर; वर्णं दवितीयं भजते चिराय समुद्रनेमिर नमते तु तस्मै; यं बराह्मणः शास्ति नयैर विनीतः ।। ३-२७-१४ ।।

sanskrit

'This earth, with all her wealth, does not remain loyal for long to a Kshatriya who lives without the guidance of a Brahmana. However, she, who is surrounded by the ocean, bows in reverence to him who is guided and instructed by a Brahmana.' ।। 3-27-14 ।।
