Verse 3.6.22

सच्छास्त्रसत्संगमजैर्विवेकैस्तथा विनश्यन्ति बलादविद्याः ।
यथा जलानां कतकानुषङ्गाद्यथा जनानां मतयोऽपि योगात् ॥ २२ ॥

sacchāstrasatsaṃgamajairvivekaistathā vinaśyanti balādavidyāḥ |
yathā jalānāṃ katakānuṣaṅgādyathā janānāṃ matayo'pi yogāt || 22 ||

It is by means of right discrimination derived from the keeping of good company and study of holy works, that our understanding is cleared of its ignorance, as dirty water is purified by Kata seeds, and as the minds of men are expurgated by the Yoga philosophy.
