acharyat padamadatte padam shishya svamedhaya |
padam sabrahmacharibhya: padam kala kramena cha ||
आचार्यात् पादमादत्ते पादं शिष्य स्वमेधया |
पादं सब्रह्मचारिभ्य: पादं काल क्रमेण च ||
A part we learn from those who teach us,
A part from our own reason's reaches,
A part we learn from friends and peers,
The rest from passing days and years.
