1. The sage asked the spirit of wisdom (2) thus: ‘Is wisdom good, or skill, or goodness [1]?’
3. The spirit of wisdom answered (4) thus: ‘Wisdom with which there is no goodness, is not to be considered as wisdom; (5) and skill with which there is no wisdom, is not to be considered as skill.’
(37:1) L19 omits the last two words, but they are evidently referred to in the reply. ↩︎
