ब्राह्मण उवाच ॥ किमादर्शेन चान्धस्य किं गृहेर्भैक्ष्यजीविनः ॥ किम्पुस्तकेन मूढस्य निस्त्रीकस्य धनेन किम्॥ ३६॥

The Brahmin said:— What can a blind man do with a mirror? Of what avail is a house to him who lives on alms? What can a fool do with a book? Of what avail is wealth to him who is bereft of his wife?
