Brief description of Remaining Ayurvedic Rishis who attended the meeting with Kashiraj.

पांडा 🐼 का पोपट पार्ट 8

अक्सर आपने पांडा 🐼 जी को यह कहते सुना होगा कि स्त्री को वेद पढ़ने का अधिकार नहीं है । आइए इनका खंडन करते हैं ।

कृष्णयजुर्वेदीय तैत्तिरीय ब्राह्मण २.३.१० के अनुसार प्रजापति सोम ने सृष्टि के आदि में उत्पन्न हुए तीन वेद ( ऋक् , यजु , साम ) सीता सावित्री को प्रदान किये ।
सायणाचार्य ने भी सीता सावित्री को प्रजापति की पुत्री (दुहिता) एवं वेदज्ञा माना है ।

उसी कृष्णयजुर्वेदीय तैत्तिरीय ब्राह्मण १.१.४ में इडा , जो मनुपुत्री होने के कारण मानवी कही जाती है , उसके लिए यज्ञानूकाशिन्यासीत् शब्द का प्रयोग किया गया है जिसका अर्थ करते हुए सायणाचार्य ने यज्ञानूकाशिनी यज्ञतत्व प्रकाशनसमर्थाऽऽसीत् अर्थात यज्ञ के तत्व को जानने तथा दूसरों को बताने वाली कहा है । सायण भाष्य के अनुसार यह मनु के यज्ञ में होता बनी थी ।

प्रजापतिर्यज्ञः आदि वचनों से सिद्ध है कि प्रजापति अर्थात् परमात्मा ही यज्ञ है तथा परमतत्व को जानने वाला यज्ञ सुचारू रूप से करा सकता है और परमात्मा के विषय में वेद से बेहतर कौन बता सकता है ?
अतः यज्ञ करने हेतु वेदज्ञान होना अत्यंत आवश्यक है । यहां से स्त्रियों का वेदाधिकार सिद्ध होता है ।

Karpatri's Lame logic for defending the Ashleel bhasya done by Mahidhar uvatt.

Saying that It's just a way to supress one's lust in the Vasanta Season when Ashvamedh is done and then Mahishi + Ghoda.... I can't speak much more
