समयोचितपद्यरत्नमालिका - धर्म

धर्मार्थकाममोक्षाणां यस्यैकोऽपि न विद्यते ।
अजागलस्तनस्येव तस्य जन्म निरर्थकम् ॥

Dharma, wealth, pleasures and salvation are the four goals of mankind. If one is not able to achieve any one of them in his life, then his whole life is a waste – just like the flesh at the neck of a goat. It looks like an udder, but does not have milk.
