76
Nidhīnaṃva pavattāraṃ,
yaṃ passe vajjadassinaṃ;
Niggayhavādiṃ medhāviṃ,
tādisaṃ paṇḍitaṃ bhaje;
Tādisaṃ bhajamānassa,
seyyo hoti na pāpiyo.
If you see an intelligent man who tells you where true treasures are to be found, who shows what is to be avoided, and administers reproofs, follow that wise man; it will be better, not worse, for those who follow him.
