अनाहूत: प्रविशति अपृष्टो बहु भाषते । अविश्वस्ते विश्वसिति मूढचेता नराधम: ॥

The person who enters anyone’s room without permission, imposes his opinion without asking for advice and trusts an unreliable person. He is called a fool.

जो व्यक्ति बिना आज्ञा लिए किसी के भी कक्ष में प्रवेश करता है, सलाह माँगे बिना अपनी बात थोपता है तथा अविश्वसनीय व्यक्ति पर भरोसा करता है । उसे मूर्ख कहा जाता है ।

ಅನುಮತಿಯಿಲ್ಲದೆ ಯಾರೊಬ್ಬರ ಕೋಣೆಗೆ ಪ್ರವೇಶಿಸುವ ವ್ಯಕ್ತಿಯು ಸಲಹೆಯನ್ನು ಕೇಳದೆ ತನ್ನ ಅಭಿಪ್ರಾಯವನ್ನು ಹೇರುತ್ತಾನೆ ಮತ್ತು ವಿಶ್ವಾಸಾರ್ಹವಲ್ಲದ ವ್ಯಕ್ತಿಯನ್ನು ನಂಬುತ್ತಾನೆ. ಅವನನ್ನು ಮೂರ್ಖ ಎಂದು ಕರೆಯಲಾಗುತ್ತದೆ.
