A poem not in prime time said- 1

A poem not at proper time said-- Though wisdom so well said, gets slighted. Like Vedas by an aged wife read In privacy, say, of nuptial bed. __________________ Translation |16.09.2024| poem, wrong time Poet’s note: Sanskrit has thousands of verses of wisdom, ‘words well said’. This one is taken from my selection of translations. Here is the first of the twain. It talks of a verse not at the right time said. The next one talks about something said at the right time and place. The examples given to illustrate the point are quite striking and humorous. The transliteration of the Sanskrit verse follows: Avasare na cha yat uktam subhaashhitam, tat cha bhavati haasyaaya | Rahasi praudha vadhoonaam rati samaye, veda paatha ive ||
