2. The teacher said: 'Friend, you shine like one who knows Brahman. Who then has taught you 1?' He replied: 'Not men. But you only, Sir, I wish, should teach me 2;

3. 'For I have heard from men like you, Sir, that only knowledge which is learnt from a teacher (Âkârya), leads to real good.' Then he taught him the same knowledge. Nothing was left out, Yea, nothing was left out.
