Verse 103.42
यो मुनी बहु भाषति उपेतं अर्थसंहितं ।
निर्वाणं साक्षात्कुर्याय जानन्तो बहु भाषति ॥ ४२ ॥
yo munī bahu bhāṣati upetaṃ arthasaṃhitaṃ |
nirvāṇaṃ sākṣātkuryāya jānanto bahu bhāṣati || 42 ||
When the sage speaks much it is all on and about the goal. Because he knows nirvana he speaks much for the realisation of it. (42)
