यथा शिलान्तःसंस्थानां बहिष्ठानां च वेदनम् ।
असज्जडं च भेकानां मिथोऽन्तस्तस्थुषां तथा ॥ ६३ ॥

yathā śilāntaḥsaṃsthānāṃ bahiṣṭhānāṃ ca vedanam |
asajjaḍaṃ ca bhekānāṃ mitho'ntastasthuṣāṃ tathā || 63 ||

Again as the inhabitants of caves, know nothing of their outsiders; and as the frogs of dirty pools are unacquainted with pure water of streams; so is one sort of being ignorant of the nature of another.
