Verse 6.83.12

श्रीराम उवाच ।
महत्याः सिद्धयोगिन्यास्तस्या अपि शिखिध्वजः ।
यत्नेन प्राप नो बोधं बुध्यतेऽन्यः कथं प्रभो ॥ १२ ॥

śrīrāma uvāca |
mahatyāḥ siddhayoginyāstasyā api śikhidhvajaḥ |
yatnena prāpa no bodhaṃ budhyate'nyaḥ kathaṃ prabho || 12 ||

Rama said:—If it was impossible, sir, for the seeress of consummate wisdom to communicate her knowledge to her husband Sikhidvaja, with all her endeavours to enlighten him on the subject; how can it be possible for others, to be conversant in spiritual knowledge in any other means.
