Jun 24, 2020 at 1:54 comment added 9bilvapatra @user16618- among the entire gamut of hindu scriptures is the four Vedas and Vedanta (Upanishad) alone which are apaurusheya..hence perfect and not even a syllable can be altered in them. All Puranas and Itihasas have an author including Bhagavad Geeta and are hence allowed to be read by the Shoodras. Geeta is also called as Upanishad but it is certainly not..similarly comparison with Veda doesn’t make Itihasas or Puranas any kind of Veda!
Dec 21, 2018 at 7:15 comment added user16618 @UdayKrishna I think it's the other way around, in general vedas are restricted and if puranas and vedas are to be considered vedas, then one may say that they are also restricted. then he says there are exceptions in vedas, similarly in the same way puranas and itihasas though vedas are exceptions and open for sudras. Any ways the main point I think is that certain places exceptions are made in 4 Vedas for sudras or others, but it is limited to only that mantra etc. not the whole of the Vedas.
