ऊँची जाति, पुराना कुल, बाप-दादोंसे पाया हुआ धन, पुत्र-पौत्र, रूप-रंग आदिका जो अभिमान करता है, उसके बराबर कोई मूर्ख नहीं।

The summary

इन सूक्तियोंमें कहा गया है कि ऊँची जाति, पुराने कुल, पैतृक धन और रूपका अभिमान मूर्खता है, क्योंकि इन्हें पानेमें अपनी कोई बुद्धि या पुरुषार्थ नहीं लगा। महापुरुषके लक्षण बताए गए हैं: परनिन्दासे विमुखता, आत्मप्रशंसासे अरुचि और दूसरोंके सुखकी चिन्ता। अनेक महान व्यक्ति नीचे कुलमें जन्मे, जैसे कमल कीचड़से निकलता है।
