dharmārthau yatra na syātāṃ śuśrūṣā vāpi tadvidhā
tatra vidyā na vaktavyā śubhaṃ bījam ivoṣare //
If by instructing a pupil neither religious merit nor wealth are acquired, and if no sufficient attention is to be obtained from him (for his teacher's words), in such soil divine knowledge must not be sown: it would perish like fine seed in barren soil.
