Purana and Itihasa (epic history)

Source: archive.org: Shiva Purana - English Translation

Śrutimātra (श्रुतिमात्र) refers to the “ears”, according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.3.33 (“The appeasement of Himavat”).—Accordingly, as Vasiṣṭha said to Himavat (Himācala): “[...] It is only an enemy, though keen in intellect, who says what is pleasing to the ears now but what transpires to be untrue and unwholesome afterwards. He never speaks wholesome things. Only a virtuous and sympathetic friend will speak such words as are unpleasant in the beginning but conducive to happiness in the end. But the third variety of behaviour nectar-like to the ears (śrutimātra), conducive to happiness on all occasions, essential and truthful is considered to be the most excellent. [...]”.
