It should never be given to one who speaks falsehood, or one who is cunning or roguish, or one who has no strength of mind, or one who is of crooked understanding, or one who is jealous of men of knowledge, or one who pains others. Listen to me as I say who they are to whom this knowledge may safely be given.
न देयमेतच्च तथानृतात्मने शठाय क्लीबाय न जिह्मबुद्धये। न पण्डितज्ञानपरोपतापिने देयं तु देयं च निबोध यादृशे॥
