Valmiki Ramayana · Ayodhya Kanda · Sarga 1
श्रैष्ठ्यं शास्त्रसमूहेषु प्राप्तो व्यामिश्रकेषु च। अर्थधमौ च सङ्गृह्य सुखतन्त्रो न चालसः
śraiṣṭhyaṃ śāstrasamūheṣu prāpto vyāmiśrakeṣu ca| arthadhamau ca saṅgṛhya sukhatantro na cālasaḥ
He obtained proficiency in scriptures and interconnected (mutually contradictory) branches of learning. Only after having grasped the (philosophy of) artha (statecraft) and dharma (righteousness), he sought pleasure. He was never indolent.
— M.N. Dutt (1891)
Commentary
Rama masters even contradictory branches of learning. True wisdom, the verse suggests, is not knowing one thing perfectly but holding multiple perspectives without confusion. The ability to reconcile opposites is the mark of a mature intellect.
