Verses on Dhamma 6.1.76

6.1.76

‘‘Nidhīnaṃva pavattāraṃ, yaṃ passe vajjadassinaṃ;
Niggayhavādiṃ medhāviṃ, tādisaṃ paṇḍitaṃ bhaje;
Tādisaṃ bhajamānassa, seyyo hoti na pāpiyo’’ti.

76. Should one see, as it were, a revealer of hidden treasures, one who points out what should be avoided, Who administers reproof where there is occasion for reproof, a man of intelligence, one should follow so wise a man; It will be better, not worse, for one to follow so wise a man.
