गरुडपुराण - स्थानभ्रष्टा न पूज्यंते


स्थानस्थितानि पूज्यंते पूज्यंते च पदे स्थिताः ।
स्थानभ्रष्टा न पूज्यंते कुशा दंता नखा नराः ॥


- गरुडपुराण



sthAna sthitAni pUjante pUjante cha pade sthitAH ।
sthAna bhraShTA na pUjante kushA dantA nakhA narAH ॥


- garuDapurANa


Things that are in their useful positions and in helpful roles are respected. They will no longer be respected if they lose the position or cease to be helpful. Just like the holy grass, teeth, finer and toe nails. This applies to people as well.
