📜 Verse
Yadyapi Bahunādhīṣe Tathāpi Paṭha Putra Vyākaraṇam
Svajanaḥ Śvajanaḥ Mābhūt Sakalam Śakalam Sakṛt Śakṛt
📖 Meaning
My son, even if you do not study the Shastras or the Vedas, it is alright—but learn grammar!
Because it helps you avoid pronouncing Svajana (our own people) as Śvajana (dogs...),
Sakalam (everything) as Śakalam (pieces),
and Sakṛt (once) as Śakṛt (excrement) — this is what a father is telling his son.
