O Brahmana, all that I have said is strictly according to the scriptures. It is, however, very true that without a correct understanding of the meaning of the scriptures, one does not feel inclined to obey what the scriptures really say.
स्यूमरश्मिरुवाच सर्वमेतन्मया ब्रह्मन् शास्त्रतः परिकीर्तितम्। न ह्यविज्ञाय शास्त्रार्थं प्रवर्तन्ते प्रवृत्तयः॥
