स्पष्टार्थः श्लोकः ।तथा चोक्तम्—‘आचार्यवदाचार्यदारेषु वृत्तिः’ ‘आचार्यवदाचार्यपुत्रं वृत्तिश्च’ इति ॥

In plain words

The verse is plain; its meaning needs no unpacking. And it has been said elsewhere as well: "Toward the teacher's wife, bear yourself as you would toward the teacher"; "and toward the teacher's son, bear yourself as you would toward the teacher."

Close to the Sanskrit

The verse is one whose meaning is clear. And thus it has been said—'Toward the teacher's wife, conduct as toward the teacher'; 'and toward the teacher's son, conduct as toward the teacher'—thus.
