कस्मिंश्चिद् अधिष्ठाने चत्वारो ब्राह्मण-पुत्राह् परं मित्र-भावम् उपगता वसन्ति स्म । तेषां त्रयः शास्त्र-पारङ्गताः परन्तु बुद्धि-रहिताः । एकस् तु बुद्धिमान् केवलं शास्त्र-पराङ्मुखः । अथ तैः कदाचिन् मित्रैर् मन्त्रितम्-को गुणो विद्यायाः, येन देशान्तरं गत्वा, भूपतीन् परितोष्यार्थोपार्जनं न क्रियते । तत् पूर्व-देशं गच्छावः ।
English · Meaning
In a certain settlement four Brahmin sons lived, having become deeply devoted friends. Three of them were masters of the scriptures but devoid of practical intelligence; the fourth was intelligent but wholly turned away from scripture. Once, as friends, they deliberated: “What is the benefit of learning if, by going to another country, one does not earn wealth by pleasing kings? Therefore, let us go to the eastern country.”

Sanskrit · 5.p02448
तथानुष्ठिते किञ्चिन् मार्गं गत्वा तेषां ज्येष्ठतरः प्राह-अहो ! अस्माकम् एकश् चतुर्थो मूढः । केवलं बुद्धिमान् । न च राज-प्रतिग्रहो बुद्ध्या लभ्यते, विद्यां विना । तन् नास्मै स्वोपार्जितं दास्यामः । तद् गच्छतु गृहम् ।
English · Meaning
When this had been done, after they had gone some distance, the eldest said: “Ah! Of us, one—the fourth—is foolish, merely intelligent. Royal patronage is not obtained through intelligence without learning. Therefore, we shall not give him what we have earned ourselves. Let him go home.”
