Verse 103.41
यं ऊनकं तं स्वनति यं पूरं शान्तम् एव तं ।
ऊनकुम्भोपमो बालो ह्रदपूरो व पण्डितः ॥ ४१ ॥
yaṃ ūnakaṃ taṃ svanati yaṃ pūraṃ śāntam eva taṃ |
ūnakumbhopamo bālo hradapūro va paṇḍitaḥ || 41 ||
What is empty makes a noise: what is full is silent. The fool is like a pot not quite full; the wise is like a full pool. (41)
