Chapter 25 — Impudent Brahmins' Vanity

Literal. A Muslim king in Vidura keeps two Brahmins around to recite Vedas; they roam the country challenging Brahmins to debate. They reach Kumasi, demand a debate with Trivikram, who declines and refers them to Shri Guru at Ganagapur. The Brahmins go; Shri Guru asks why they want to debate; they boast of their prior victories. Shri Guru tries to dissuade them: vanity destroys; even Brahma does not know all the Vedas. They insist.

Symbolic. The setup for Chapter 26's argument that a partial knowledge confidently asserted is worse than admitted ignorance.
