(37) > (A bad pupil thinks:) 'I get but knocks and boxes on the ear, hard words and blows;' and he believes a teacher who instructs him well, to be a malevolent man. (38) > A good pupil has the best opinion (of his teacher), thinking that he treats him like his son or brother or a near relation; but a malevolent pupil imagines himself treated like a slave. (39) > He should not provoke his teacher's anger, nor should he himself grow angry; he should not offend the teacher nor irritate him by proclaiming his faults. (40) > Perceiving the teacher's anger one should pacify him by kindness, appease him with folded hands, and promise not to do wrong again. (41) > He who adopts the conduct which the wise ones have attained by their virtues and always practised, will not incur blame. (42) > Guessing the teacher's thoughts and the purport of his words, one should express one's assent, and execute (what he desires to be done). (43) > An excellent pupil needs no express directions, or he is (at least) quickly directed; he always carries out his duties as he is told. (44) > An intelligent man who has learned (the sacred texts) takes his duties upon himself, and he becomes renowned in the world; as the earth is the dwelling of all beings, so he will be a dwelling of all duties.
