These twenty-four, O king, are the teachers I have taken refuge in. From the way each of them lives, I have learned lessons here for myself.
हे राजन, ये चौबीस मेरे आश्रित गुरु हैं। इनके आचरण से मैंने यहाँ अपने लिए शिक्षा ग्रहण की है।

The lesson is in the watching: the Avadhūta learned by observing how things behave and applying it to his own life. That habit of reflective attention is open to anyone.
शिक्षा देखने में है: अवधूत ने चीज़ों के स्वभाव को देखकर उसे अपने जीवन पर लागू किया। चिंतन भरे ध्यान की यह आदत कोई भी अपना सकता है।
The Avadhūta sums up: these twenty-four are his teachers, and from their ways of living he drew lessons for himself.
