mohan Posted January 21, 2008 Report Share Posted January 21, 2008 Namaskar, I came across this verse today. Posted below is the verse and translation. The ebook where I read this mentioned that this verse comes from smriti without describing from where exactly. Can someone tell me which scripture this verse is from and in what context is the statement being made? Thanks!! Achaaryaath paadam aadatthe paadam sishya swamedhayaa paadam sa brahmachaaribhya sesham kaala kramena cha This is an important advice given in smruthies. It means a person can get only one quarter of knowledge from Achaarya - the teacher, another quarter by analyzing self, one quarter by discussing with others and the last quarter during the process of living by method addition, deletion, correction, and modification of already known aachaaraas or new aachaaraas.
