-
Just as fishermen catch tortoises with a net offering them some bait ; so the services of the learned should be acquired by offering them tempting remuneration. As with hoofs attack animals, so an enemy should be attacked with full force. Just as fishermen catch with fetters small watery birds like kapinjalas, so the learned persons should be acquired by arranging for their livelihood.
