अन्यस्त्वां चेतयति चेत्तं चेतयति कोऽपरः ।
क इमं चेतयेत्तस्मादनवस्था न वास्तवी ॥ २९ ॥

anyastvāṃ cetayati cettaṃ cetayati ko'paraḥ |
ka imaṃ cetayettasmādanavasthā na vāstavī || 29 ||

If you would have one to enlighten your understanding, say where is that another to illumine him, and who is the other to illuminate him also. Hence as no one is wholly devoid of understanding, let him improve it himself.
