“Parvat ! I do believe that one word may have a number of meanings. It depends on the discretion of the person using a particular word as to what meaning should be given to it and where. We should consider as to what meaning the writer of the scriptures intended to signify. The scriptures never advise violence of animals. Giving the meaning of "goat would lead to violence to animals. Giving the meaning of "old rice” would not lead to violence of animals."
Parvat changed his argument.
“But while interpreting this phrase the father had said the meaning of “aja" to be goat.
Narad said :
“Parvat ! The revered preceptor has never said so. You are under an illusion. Therefore you say thus."
