Chanakya Niti • Chapter 9 • Shloka 5
दुतो न सञ्चरति खे न चलेच्च वार्ता ।
पुर्व न जल्पितमिदं न च सड्गमोऽस्ति ।
व्योम्नि स्थितं रविशाशग्रहणं प्रशस्तं
जानाति यो द्विजवरः सकथं न विद्वान् ।।
No messenger can travel about in the sky and no tidings come from there. The voice of its inhabitants as never heard, nor can any contact be established with them. Therefore the brahmana who predicts the eclipse of the sun and moon which occur in the sky must be considered as a vidwan (man of great learning).
