गुरुशास्त्रार्थशिष्याणां चिरसंयोगसत्तया ।
अहनीव जनाचार आत्मज्ञानं प्रवर्तते ॥ १७ ॥

guruśāstrārthaśiṣyāṇāṃ cirasaṃyogasattayā |
ahanīva janācāra ātmajñānaṃ pravartate || 17 ||

It is therefore the combination of bookish knowledge with the instruction of the preceptor, joined with the investigation of the inquirer, that is calculated to enlighten us on spiritual knowledge, as the appearance of the day with the rising sun and waking world, gives an impetus to the rise of duties of the rising world.
