Pranam
If at all writing something, Narayanaswamy shall write sensibly in good
stead. Often I said that ignorance leads people to "simply assert" like
narayansswamy or adopt someone's as his like G's or simply deny as an
atheist do, like G's dotted banker. Whoever writes is welcome to address
the authenticity, as well as to learn the authenticity of elders who wrote
millenium back. Elders are not elders by number of days from birth; it is
by revelation of wide knowledge; writing slokas and talking only about KYV
in print is not elderely; Jyeṣṭha (ज्येष्ठ).—*a.* (Superl. of *praśasya*
or *vṛddha*)1) Eldest, most senior.; Vṛddha (वृद्ध) refers to “old
people”,; Wise, learned; वृद्धेभ्य एवेह मतिं स्म बाला गृह्णन्ति कालेन
भवन्ति वृद्धाः (*vṛddhebhya eveha matiṃ sma bālā gṛhṇanti kālena bhavanti
vṛddhāḥ*) Mb.3.133.1.; Eminent in, distinguished by; An old man; हैयंगवीनमादाय
घोषवृद्धानुपस्थितान् (*haiyaṃgavīnamādāya ghoṣavṛddhānupasthitān*)
R.1.45;9.78; प्राप्या- वन्तीनुदयनकथाकोविदग्रामवृद्धान् (
*prāpyā-vantīnudayanakathākovidagrāmavṛddhān*) ; A worthy or venerable man;
A sage, saint; grown up, adult, large, tall, strong, intense, great,
high, important, aged, old, skilful, clever, distinguished or eminent. The
Smritis are a sort of general guidebook to social living under different
circumstances and in different times. They supplement and explain the
sociological and ritualistic injunctions of the Vedas, called *Vidhi*, and
are thus also called *Dharma-Sastras* (scriptures on Dharma). Among the
Smritis, the Smiritis of Manu, Yajnavalkya and Parasara are the most
authoritative and renowned.
An Aryan (*shreshtha *or excellent person) must study the whole Veda
together with the *Rahasyas,* performing at the same time various kinds of
austerities and the vows prescribed by the rules (of the Veda)(2.165). Manu
smrithi
- Neither through years, nor through white (hairs), nor through wealth,
nor through (powerful) kinsmen (comes greatness). The sages have made this
law, ‘He who has learnt the Veda together with the *Angas (Anukana)* is
(considered) great by us.'(2.154). A man is not therefore (considered)
venerable because his head is gray; him who, though young, has learned the
Veda, the gods consider to be venerable( 2.156).Manu smrithi.
- Abusing (others, speaking) untruth, detracting from the merits of all
men, and talking idly, shall be the *four kinds of (evil) verbal
action.*(MS12.6).
Taking what has not been given, injuring (creatures) without the sanction
of the law, and holding criminal intercourse with another man’s wife, are
declared to be the *three kinds of* *(wicked) bodily actions *( Manu S
mrithi12.7). (A man) obtains (the result of) a good or evil mental (act)
in his mind, (that of) a verbal (act) in his speech, (that of) a bodily
(act) in his body (Manu Smrithi 12.8). Let him say what is true, let him
say what is pleasing, let him utter no disagreeable truth, and let him
utter no agreeable falsehood; that is the eternal law (MS4:138).*Neither
a man who (lives) unrighteously, nor he who (acquires) wealth (by telling)
falsehoods, nor he who always delights in doing injury, ever attain
happiness in this world *(MS4.170). *Giving no pain to any creature, let
him slowly accumulate spiritual merit*, for the sake (of acquiring) a
companion to the next world, just as the white ant (gradually raises its)
hill. For in the next world neither father, nor mother, nor wife, nor sons,
nor relations stay to be his companions; spiritual merit alone remains
(with him). Single is each being born; single it dies; single it enjoys
(the reward of its) virtue; single (it suffers the punishment of its) sin
(MS4:238-40). He who is persevering, gentle, (and) patient, shuns the
company of men of cruel conduct, and does no injury (to living creatures),
gains, if he constantly lives in that manner, by controlling his organs and
by liberality, heavenly bliss(MS4.246).
- So be really elderely and be quantified and do not do
sallithanam Then respect shall reach you KR IRS 9322
