Verse 6.41.59

जीवं विवेकिनमिहोपदिशन्ति तज्ज्ञा नो बालमुद्भ्रममसन्मयमार्यमुक्तम् ।
अज्ञं प्रशास्ति किल यः कनकावदातां स स्वप्नदृष्टपुरुषाय सुतां ददाति ॥ ५९ ॥

jīvaṃ vivekinamihopadiśanti tajjñā no bālamudbhramamasanmayamāryamuktam |
ajñaṃ praśāsti kila yaḥ kanakāvadātāṃ sa svapnadṛṣṭapuruṣāya sutāṃ dadāti || 59 ||

Wise men should advise the prudent only, and throw away their instruction to boys that are wandering in error, and are shunned by good people. To give good counsel to the ignorant, is as offering a fair daughter in marriage to the spectre of man seen in a dream.
