दविजेषु वैद्याः शरेयांसॊ वैद्येषु कृतबुद्धयः स भवान कृतबुद्धीनां परधान इति मे मतिः ।। ५-६-२ ।।
‘Of the twice-born, students of the Veda are the highest. Among these students, those endowed with cultured understanding are superior. Of cultured men, practical persons excel. And among practical men, those who know the Supreme Being are the greatest. You, it seems to me, stand at the very top of those of cultured understanding.’ ।। 5-6-2 ।।
