श्रुत्वा सर्वधर्मम् अभिज्ञाय सावद्यम् अनवद्यं च सदेवके लोके ।
असमो अपरिग्रहो विशुद्धो अनिघो तायि तम् आहु श्रोत्रियन् ति ॥ २४ ॥

śrutvā sarvadharmam abhijñāya sāvadyam anavadyaṃ ca sadevake loke |
asamo aparigraho viśuddho anigho tāyi tam āhu śrotriyan ti || 24 ||

He who hears and understands all things, the blameworthy and the blameless, in the worlds of devas and of men; who is unselfish, ungrasping, pure and free from evil—such an one do they call a learned man. (24)
