न गन्धमपि गन्धर्वा दर्शयन्ति विवेकजम् ।
गीतपीतपरामर्शाः सरन्ति हरिणा इव ॥ २९ ॥

na gandhamapi gandharvā darśayanti vivekajam |
gītapītaparāmarśāḥ saranti hariṇā iva || 29 ||

The Gandharva songsters (that are skilled in music only), show no sign of right reason in them; but being giddy with the wine of melody, they fall into the hands of death, as the silly stags are caught in the snare.
