न वेत्ति तो यस्य गुण प्रकर्ष स तं सदा निन्दति नाऽत्र चित्रम् ।
यथा किरती करिकुम्भलब्धां मुक्तां परित्यज्य बिभर्ति गुञ्जाम् ।।
It is not strange if a man reviles (Degrades) a thing of which he has no knowledge, just as a wild hunter's wife throws away the pearl that is found in the head of an elephant, and picks up a gunj(a type of seed which poor tribals wear as ornaments).
