English Translation

त्वादृशः persons like you, विचक्षण: a wise one, रोषेण with unjust anger, गृह्यन्ते overpowered, ततः then, शास्त्रविपश्चित्त्वम् learning scriptures, केवलम् a mere, श्रम एव हि only fruitless labour.

English Commentary

"If wise persons like you are also overpowered by unjust anger, then the mastery of the scriptures will become a mere fruitless exercise.
