na hāyanair na palitair na vittena na bandhubhiḥ
ṛṣayaś cakrire dharmaṃ yo 'nūcānaḥ sa no mahān //
Neither through years, nor through white (hairs), nor through wealth, nor through (powerful) kinsmen (comes greatness). The sages have made this law, 'He who has learnt the Veda together with the Angas (Anukana) is (considered) great by us.'
