US-P18.111ab श्रोतुः स्यादुपदेशश्चेदर्थवत्त्वं तथा भवेत् ।US-P18.111cd अध्यक्षस्य न चेदिष्टं श्रोतृत्वं कस्य तद् भवेत् ॥
In plain words
Only if there is a genuine student to hear can instruction have any meaning. If the pure witness has no capacity for hearing, to whom could that instruction possibly belong?
Close to the Sanskrit
If there is instruction for a hearer, thus its meaningfulness would be. If the state of being a hearer is not accepted for the witness, whose would that be?
