कथंचित्प्राप्यते कश्चिद्भ्रान्त्वेव हि महाजनः ।
न भवानिव भव्यात्मा सुलभो जगति क्वचित् ॥ ६ ॥

kathaṃcitprāpyate kaścidbhrāntveva hi mahājanaḥ |
na bhavāniva bhavyātmā sulabho jagati kvacit || 6 ||

It may be possible by long travel and search, to meet with a great soul some where or other; but it is hard to find a holy soul like yourself any where. (Man may be very learned and wise as a sapient.
