than diamonds and pearls,
it is more important
than anything your heart could wish for.” (Source: Newari Back Translation) - Hiligaynon: “For wisdom is more valuable than precious stones and there is no other thing which you (sing.) desire that can-equal/level to it.” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
