युक्तियुक्तं वचो ग्राह्यं बालादपि शुकादपि |
अयुक्तमपि न ग्राह्यं साक्षादपि वृहस्पते: ||
अर्थ - यदि कोई युक्तियुक्त बात आपसे कही जाती है, चाहे वह् एक बालक या एक बोलने वाले तोते द्वारा कही गयी हो, तो उसे ग्राह्य करना श्रेयस्कर है | परन्तु कोई अयुक्तियुक्त बात यदि साक्षात देवगुरु वृहस्पति भी आपसे कहें तो उसे नहीं मानना चाहिये |
Yuktiyuktam vacho grahyam baalaadapi shukaadapi.
Ayuktamapi na graahyam saakshaadapi vruhaspate.
Yuktiyuktam = rational, proper. Vacho = talk, words. Graahyam = to be taken,
Baaladapi = baalaat +api. Baalat = by children. Api = even. Shukaadapi = shukaat + api.
Shukaat = by a parrot. Ayuktmapi = ayuktam+ api. Ayukta = unsuitable, unreasonable.
Na = not. Saakshaadapi = saakshaat + api. Saakshaat = straightway, in person.
Vruhaspati = The high priest or Guru of Gods as per Hindu Mythlogy, an epitome of knowledge.
i.e. If some rational and proper advice is given to you even by a child or a talking parrot, it should be taken seriously and heeded, whereas any thing irrational told to you should not be accepted, even if such advice is given personally by Vruhaspati, the guru of Gods.

Please refrain from using the word mythology...Hinduism or sanathan Dharma scriptures or events are not a myth nor any fable to be put so lightly.
ReplyDeleteYou are absolutely right. Our scriptures are not mythology. Why should we, ourselves call our scriptures as mythology. Knowingly or unknowingly, we often make such mistakes for our Sanatan Dharm. For example, many people call Bhagavan Shiva as Lord Shiva.
DeleteDhanyawadam I myself often make that mistake of referring to Mahadeva as Lord Shiva ...Har Har Mahadev !!!
