यत्र विद्वज्जनो नास्ति श्लाघ्यः तत्र अल्पधीः अपि।
निरस्तपादपे देशे एरण्डोऽपि द्रुमायते।

yatra vidvajjano nāsti ślāghyaḥ tatra alpadhīḥ api।
nirastapādape deśe eraṇḍo’pi drumāyate।

In a place where there are no knowledgeable people, a dim-witted person gets praised. In a place where there are no trees, a castor plant is considered as a tree.

जहाँ विद्वान लोग नहीं होते वहाँ अल्पबुद्धी मूर्ख की भी तारीफ होती है। उसे विद्वान समझते है। जहाँ कुछ भी बड़े वृक्ष नहीं है वहाँ एरंड को भी बड़ा वृक्ष मानते है।
