रूपभेदविदस्तत्र ततश्चोभयतो दतः । तेषां बहुपदाः श्रेष्ठाश्चतुष्पादस्ततो द्विपात् ।। ३-२९-३० ।।

sanskrit

Better than those living entities who can perceive sound are those who can distinguish between one form and another. Better than them are those who have developed upper and lower sets of teeth, and better still are those who have many legs. Better than them are the quadrupeds, and better still are the human beings. ।। 3-29-30 ।।

english translation

ध्वनि सुन सकने वाले प्राणियों की अपेक्षा वे श्रेष्ठ हैं, जो एक रूप तथा दूसरे रूप में अन्तर जान लेते हैं । इनसे भी अच्छे वे हैं जिनके ऊपरी तथा निचले दाँत होते हैं और इनसे भी श्रेष्ठ अनेक पाँव वाले जीव हैं । इनसे भी श्रेष्ठ चौपाये और चौपाये से भी बढ़कर मनुष्य हैं। ।। ३-२९-३० ।।
