c9.63

" ' Like teachers who do not feed (but send away) unworthy pupils who do not honour them, though possessed of the highest learning (*viprāḥ* = medhāvinaḥ gṛihītavidyāḥ), by their word, thought, and deed, knowledge also will shun them.
" ' In order to protect thy treasure, O Brāhmaṇa! expound Me to him alone whom thou knowest to be pure (*śuchi*), devoid of passion (*apramatta*), possessed of intelligence, and established in *brahmacharya*, the discipline of religious studentship (*brahmacharyopapanna*).' "
