Where was the need to make mention of them and then labour arguments to explain them away, there by disturbing men's minds?

It was not as though others haddiscovered the lapses and Vyasa and Valmiki had to defend their heroes. The stories areartistic creations in which lapses they impress the desired moral.

The parts dealing with the lapses deeply distress the reader's mind and serve as solemn warnings of pitfalls, which wait to engulf the careless.

They dispose the mind to humility and watchfulness and make it realise the need for divine guidance. The modem cinema also projects on the screen much that is bad and immoral.
