Verse Text
(11) supaṇḍityaḥ –
vidvān nītijṣa ity eṣa supaṇḍityo dvidhā mataḥ |
vidvān akhila-vidyā-vin nītijṣas tu yathārha-kṛt ||75||
Translation
Being knowledgeable has two aspects: knowledgeable of all branches of all subjects and knowledgeable of proper conduct.
Purport (Jiva Goswami)
Knowledgeable of all branches of knowledge refers to scriptural knowledge only. Yathārha-kṛt means that, having the scriptural knowledge, the person knows what is to be done.
Purport (Nectar of Devotion)
11. Highly Learned
When a person is highly educated and acts strictly on moral principles, he is called highly learned. A person conversant in different departments of knowledge is called educated, and because he acts on moral principles, he is called morally stout. Together, these two factors constitute learning.
