An ancient saying, Atula,
not only said today –
‘They are blamed who silent sit,
who often speak they too are blamed,
and blamed are they of measured speech’ –
there’s none in the world unblamed.
Explanation: O’ Atula, This has been said in the olden days too – it is not just for today. They blame the person who remains silent. They find fault with the person who talks too much. Even with the individual who speaks in moderation, they find fault. In this world there is no one who is not blamed.
