भोक्ता तृप्यति नाभोक्ता गन्ता गच्छति नागतिः ।
वक्ता वक्ति न चावक्ता पौरुषं सफलं नृणाम् ॥ १७ ॥

bhoktā tṛpyati nābhoktā gantā gacchati nāgatiḥ |
vaktā vakti na cāvaktā pauruṣaṃ saphalaṃ nṛṇām || 17 ||

He that eats becomes satiate and not who starves: so he who walks is said to proceed and not one who rests: and in like manner whoso speaks is called a speaker and not the silent man: thus action makes the man.
