Sanskrit Sukti on the importance of being skilled oneself

यस्य कस्य प्रसूतोअपि
गुणवान् पूज्यते नर:
धनुर्वन्श - विषुद्धोअपि
निर्गुण: किं करिष्यति?

Yasya Kasya Prasooto Api
GuNVaan Poojyate Nara:
Dhanurvansha-Visshudhho-api
NirguN: Kim Karishyati?

Whatever be their lineage
Only the virtuous/skilled one is respected by people
Even if the bow is absolutely perfect (Vishuddha - api)
What will it do without the String? (the string of a bow is called Guna in Sanskrit)
