similar nature, who although old yet free of prejudices and 9 misconceptions, is a worthy recipient of scriptural knowledge.
An old and used pitcher is also of two types. One that has been 15. used for storing pure and fragrant water. Listeners having similar 4 nature, who have, through learning, absorbed virtues and not vices, 41 are the worthy ones.
The second type of used pitcher is that in which wines and other ki Hi foul smelling liquids have been stored. If the stink of such pitcher is i
automatically removed after some time, it can be used. However, if it stinks permanently it cannot be used. In the same way a listener, 55

Swan-It is believed to be the best among birds in terms of 4 9 beauty and disposition. It is used as a metaphor for discriminating i
between good and bad. In Hindi there is a proverb based on this
supposed attitude of swan-a swan either eats pearls or remains i 5 hungry. A listener with a swan-like selective attitude absorbs virtues
