Varaha Purana 136.114: Adhyaya 136, Shloka 114
A Sūtra-like Manual of Expiations for Ritual Transgressions
न पठेन्मूर्खमध्ये तु कुशिष्याणां तथैव च ॥ दद्याद्भागवते श्रेष्ठे मम कर्मपरायणे ॥
na paṭhen mūrkhamadhye tu kuśiṣyāṇāṁ tathaiva ca || dadyād bhāgavate śreṣṭhe mama karmaparāyaṇe
यह बात किसी मूर्ख के सामने मत पढ़ना। बुरे स्टूडेंट्स के सामने भी नहीं। इसको किसी अच्छे भगवान के भक्त को दो जो मेरा बताया हुआ धरम फॉलो करता है।
