आदौ विचार्य सगुणागुणलेशयुक्तिं पश्चात्स्वतोऽधिकतरं च गुणैर्यदि स्यात् ।
कुर्यात्ततः समुपपत्तिवशेन दण्डं दड्यस्य युक्तिसदृशं घनसंभवेन ॥ ३३ ॥

ādau vicārya saguṇāguṇaleśayuktiṃ paścātsvato'dhikataraṃ ca guṇairyadi syāt |
kuryāttataḥ samupapattivaśena daṇḍaṃ daḍyasya yuktisadṛśaṃ ghanasaṃbhavena || 33 ||

Upon examination and ascertainment of the qualifications if they prove to be wiser than the examiner; in that case one should avail of their instruction, or otherwise there is no harm to make an end of them as they best deserve.
