[hometext] => This poem reveals the importance given to the power of hearing with a clear discerning mind. The entire poem talks about how knowledge is gained by applying the sense of hearing alone.
[bodytext] => Wealth of wealth is acquired by ear`s attent This wealth amidst all other wealth is supremely excellent Even if there`s no time for the ears to take feed With trifling dole of food you supply the body`s need People feeding their ears with learned teachings are rare For rich oblations to gods, they even claim a share However ignorant one be, but let him hear always Can be weak in language, but proves a stuff and stays With a staff in hand, in slippery grounds one doesn`t stray Such are the words of people who walk in righteous way Let these good learning for everyone be in continuity Thou, keeping learnt, gains increase of perfect dignity Even not with an inadvertence will they speak a foolish word For with clear discerning mind, they have ample lessons heard If one`s teachings have not opened the learner`s ears People may listen, but the scarce can they hear For discourses of lores, refined if ears have never heard It will be hard for their mouth to utter gentle modest word If one`s mouth can taste, but ears have no taste of joy to give What matters, if this person die, or prosperous live?
