चतुर्वेदविन्न्यायः (caturvedavinnyAyaH)

 
लौकिकन्यायः
English
This maxim refers to an anecdote. It is a custom to offer some charity to a person who knows (i.e. has mastered) the four vedas. A person approached a wealthy man and solicited charity from him, pleading that he knows that the number of vedas is four. This was clearly an act of cheating. Similarly, if a person knows and mutters some words, related to the Brahman, cannot be taken to be the knower of the Brahman.
