(a) At night, when air is audible by the ear, and (b) in the day when there
is dust-whorl,—these two occasions during the rains are declared by those
versed in the rules of teaching to be unfit for study.—(102)(*manubhāṣya*):
When the wind blows with force, a sound is heard, which is produced by the
impact of another (contrary) wind; this is what is called the ‘*air audible
by the ear*.’ That which is heard by the ears is called ‘*audible by the
ear*;’ the compound being between the instrument (ear) and the noun formed
by a verbal affix. The term ‘ear’ is added for the purpose of indicating a
particular condition, because hearing is always by means of ears. The
meaning is that ‘when the sound of wind is heard, study should not be
carried on.’ ‘*Dust-whorl*’—that which brings together dust; ‘*pāṃsu*’
meaning *dust*; this is mentioned only as indicative of the wind that
produces it (*i.e*., the dust-storm). The meaning is that ‘after it has
rained, whenever such a wind blows, that time shall be regarded as unfit
for study.’‘*Versed in the rules of teaching*,’—who are conversant with the
rules regulating the practice of teaching.—(102)
Where smoke even cannot enter there the dust can enter. In
Arthasastram, Chanakya expects the spies to be like the dust. That is the
particles the black hole makes the dead stars. Pāṃśava (पांशव).—mf. (
*-vaḥ-vī*) 1. Rock or fossils salt. 2. Consisting of dust. E. *pāṃśu* dust,
and *aṇ* aff. Pāṃśava can also be spelled as Pāṃsava (पांसव). dead pamsu is
pamsava which is fossil which west tells to day, which is known as saltish
sediments on the rocks. Science is new to the west; and to Indians who did
not know the ancient literatures west science is proof; and that know how
is not knowledge as 99% of the west-blinds, who extoled the science, do not
know how it was derived. THEY BELIEVE. But they mock at those who believe
the rest as unscientific. Which one is scientific?. KR IRS 17422
