परोपदेशवेलायां शिष्टाः सर्वे भवन्ति वै ।
विस्मरन्तीह शिष्टत्वं स्वकार्ये समुपस्थिते ॥

paropadeśavelāyāṃ śiṣṭāḥ sarve bhavanti vai ।
vismarantīha śiṣṭatvaṃ svakārye samupasthite ॥

Everybody suddenly becomes wise and qualified to tender advice (upadesha) to others when they are in distress. The same wisdom is however forgotten when the wise (shishta) find themselves in a similar difficulty.
