अनुभववशतो रसातिरिक्तैरलमुचितार्थवचोगणैर्महात्मा ।
जलद इव शिखण्डिनं पुरःस्थं तनयमबोधयदम्बरे महर्षिः ॥ ३४ ॥

anubhavavaśato rasātiriktairalamucitārthavacogaṇairmahātmā |
jalada iva śikhaṇḍinaṃ puraḥsthaṃ tanayamabodhayadambare maharṣiḥ || 34 ||

The magnanimous father thus instilled true knowledge into the mind of his boy, by means (of the quadruple process) of right reasoning and correct diction, rather than regarding the elegance of expression; as the cloud indicates the approaching rain to the peacock by its hoarse sounds.
