Verse 391
Learn perfectly all that you learn, and
Thereafter keep your conduct worthy of that learning.
Verse 392
Two are the eyes of those who truly live-
One is called numbers and the other letters.
Verse 393
The learned have eyes that see, they say.
The unlearned have but two sores on their face.
Verse 394
It is the learned mans prowess that meetings
Bring delight and departures leave pleasant thoughts.
Verse 395
Amidst the learned be humble, as those possessing nothing are before
The prosperous. Those who fail thus to learn are the lowest of men.
Verse 396
The deeper a sand-well is dug the freer is its flow of water.
Even so, the deeper a man's learning the greater is his wisdom.
Verse 397
When every country our village could be his own,
How can a man dwell unlearned to his death?
Verse 398
Learning a man secures in one birth
Will secure his well-being in seven.
Verse 399
When the learned see that the learning that delights them
Delights the world as well, they love learning even more.
Verse 400
A man's learning is an imperishable and precious wealth.
All other possessions are less golden.
