Verse 7.216.18
सुतीक्ष्ण उवाच ।
नष्टमज्ञानतत्कार्यं प्राप्तं ज्ञानमनुत्तमम् ।
साक्षिणि स्फुरिताभासे ध्रुवे दीप इव क्रियाः ॥ १८ ॥
sutīkṣṇa uvāca |
naṣṭamajñānatatkāryaṃ prāptaṃ jñānamanuttamam |
sākṣiṇi sphuritābhāse dhruve dīpa iva kriyāḥ || 18 ||
Sutikshana said:—Any action done in ignorance of the actor, is reckoned as no act of his, unless it is done in his full knowledge to be taken into account. (So the brute activities of the giddy mob, bear no value or blame in them before the wise). But actions done with reason and reasonable men, are invaluable in their nature. All our acts are best seen by the light of the intellect as the actions of stage-players are seen only in the candle light.
