अपि पौरुषमादेयं शास्त्रं चेद्युक्तिबोधकम् ।
अन्यत्त्वार्षमपि त्याज्यं भाव्यं न्याय्यैकसेविना ॥ २ ॥

api pauruṣamādeyaṃ śāstraṃ cedyuktibodhakam |
anyattvārṣamapi tyājyaṃ bhāvyaṃ nyāyyaikasevinā || 2 ||

Even human compositions are acceptable when they are instructive of good sense; otherwise the Vedas also are to be renounced (as unreliable); because men are required always to abide by reason.
