By gaining such knowledge one really becomes learned. What else is the mark of a person of knowledge? Having gained such knowledge, the wise men consider themselves successful and become liberated. Those things which produce fear to men shorn of knowledge do not do so to those who are gifted with knowledge. There is no end higher than the eternal end which is acquired by a learned person.
एतद् बुद्ध्वा भवेद् बुद्धः किमन्यद् बुद्धलक्षणम्। विज्ञायैतद् विमुच्यन्ते कृतकृत्या मनीषिणः॥ न भवति विदुषां महद्भयं यदविदुषा समुहद्भयं परत्र। न हि गतिरधिकास्ति कस्यचिद् भवति हि या विदुषः सनातनी॥
