Please go out. Please go out. Don't trouble me. You are finding faults with Vyāsa

Srila Prabhupāda: No, here... Yes, that is sama-darśinaḥ, because here it is said clearly, vidyā-vinaya-sampanne brāhmaṇa [Bg. 5.18]. A brāhmaṇa, learned brāhmaṇa, and vinaya, very humble... That is the sign of goodness. Vidyā-vinaya-sampanne brāhmaṇa gavi hastini śunica.

Śunica means dog. Now he is seeing a dog and a learned brāhmaṇa, same. Now, dog is supposed to be sinful, and this learned brāhmaṇa is supposed to be virtuous. Therefore his vision, the virtuous and the sinful, the same. That is sama-darśi.

Guest (1): I think that they have made many mistakes in writing of the ślokas.

Prabhupāda: That's all right. Now you are finding mistake with Vyāsa, so who can talk with you?

Guest (2): No, no, but, but...

Prabhupāda: Please excuse me. Please go out. Please go out. Don't trouble me. You are finding faults with Vyāsa."

(Room Conversation, 1971, Allahabad)
