As a blind man, without a guide, meets with many difficulties on a road, so has a person shorn of knowledge to meet with many impediments in the world. Therefore those who are endued with knowledge arc considered as superior to the rest.
नेत्रहीनो यथा ह्येकः कृच्छ्राणि लभतेऽध्वनि। ज्ञानहीनस्तथा लोके तस्माज्ज्ञानविदोऽधिकाः॥
