अणुभ्यश्च महद्भ्यश्च शास्त्रेभ्य: कुशलो नर: |
सर्वत: सारमादद्यात् पुष्पेभ्य इव षट्पद: ||
aṇubhyaś ca mahadbhyaś ca śāstrebhyaḥ kuśalo naraḥ |
sarvataḥ sāram ādadyāt puṣpebhya iva ṣaṭ-padaḥ ||
(Śrīmad Bhāgavatam: 11.8.10)
“A wise person should collect the essence from the śāstras, both great and small, like a bee collects nectar from flowers everywhere.”
