Hitopdesh • Chapter 2 • Shloka 19
किं च
अवशेन्द्रियचित्तानां हस्तिस्नानमिव क्रिया
दुर्भगाभरणप्रायो ज्ञानं भारः क्रियां विना ॥
Also, the actions of those, whose senses and mind are not under control, are like the bath of an elephant; knowledge without action is a burden, like feeding an ill-natured (lit. unlucky) woman or like ornaments on an ugly woman.
