Men of animal-like understanding, ignorant of the meaning of the śāstras, when admitted into councils, wish to speak out of sheer presumption.
"People whose intelligence level is no better than animals, who have been included to express their views, who do not know the meaning of shastras express their views out of impudence."
Dharma in deliberation requires adhikāra (fitness/qualification): counsel should come from the competent, not from the presumptuous and uninformed.
Kumbhakarṇa criticizes unqualified participants in political councils who speak without understanding scripture or policy.
Intellectual humility and the need for qualified speech in governance.
