Valmiki Ramayana 6.51.14 meaning

anabhijnaya shastr-arthan purushah pashubuddhayah pragalbhyad vaktum ichchanti mantreshv-abhyantareekritah
अनभिज्ञाय शास्त्रार्थान्पुरुषाः पशुबुद्धयः। प्रागल्भ्याद्वक्तुमिच्छन्ति मन्त्रेष्वभ्यन्तरीकृताः॥

People with a beast-like understanding, who don't grasp what the texts really teach, still want to speak boldly once they are let into the inner council.

What it means
Being given a seat at the table doesn't make someone wise. Confidence and access are not the same as understanding. Listen for substance, not volume, when people advise you.

हिंदी में अर्थ

पशु जैसी बुद्धि वाले लोग, जो शास्त्रों का अर्थ नहीं जानते, मंत्रणा में शामिल किए जाने पर ढिठाई से बोलना चाहते हैं।

किसी को बैठक में जगह मिलने से वह समझदार नहीं हो जाता। आत्मविश्वास और पहुँच समझ के बराबर नहीं। सलाह सुनते समय आवाज़ नहीं, बात की गहराई देखिए।

Spoken by Kumbhakarna.
