तत्त्वस्यास्य महार्थस्य गुरूपकथनं गतम् ।
अकारणं कारणतां मणेरिव कपर्दकः ॥ २७ ॥

tattvasyāsya mahārthasya gurūpakathanaṃ gatam |
akāraṇaṃ kāraṇatāṃ maṇeriva kapardakaḥ || 27 ||

As the search of couri became the cause of or was attended with the gain of the gem, so our attendance on secular instructions of the preceptor, becomes an indirect cause to our acquirement of the invaluable treasure of spiritual knowledge.
