Devanagari rendered by HREEM from the edition's roman (IAST) text; the IAST is the edition's own.
Seed, sown on barren ground, perishes in it; a (fertile) field also, in which no (good) seed (is sown), will remain barren.
Translated by Georg BühlerFrom an unproofread scan of the printed edition; spelling and line breaks may carry OCR errors.
