Shatakatraya 1.8

1.8

yadā kiñcij-jño 'haṃ dvipa iva madāndhaḥ samabhavaṃ
tadā sarvajño 'smīty abhavad avaliptaṃ mama manaḥ
yadā kiñcit kiñcid budhajana-sakāśād avagataṃ
tadā mūrkho 'smīti jvara iva mado me vyapagataḥ ||

When I knew only a little, I was blinded by pride like an elephant;
then my mind was haughty, thinking, "I am omniscient."
When I learned bit by bit in the presence of wise men,
then, realizing "I am a fool," my pride departed like a fever.
