shvaa the dog, yuva a robust youth and the strong king of gods Maghavan the Indra.

काचं मणिं काञ्चनमेकसूत्रे मुग्धा निबध्नन्ति किमत्र चित्रम् ।विचारवान् पाणिनिरेकसूत्रे श्वानं युवानं मघवानमाह ॥

kācaṃ maṇiṃ kāñcanamekasūtre mugdhā nibadhnanti kimatra citram ।vicāravān pāṇinirekasūtre śvānaṃ yuvānaṃ maghavānamāha ॥

The aphorism of the great grammarian Paninin Shva-yuva-maghonam ataddhite" (6.4.133).श्वयुवमघोनामतद्धिते" ( ६।४।१३३)।

assigns identical suffix formation for three entities that have too much of dissimilarity. shvaa the dog, yuva a robust youth and the strong king of gods Maghavan the Indra.

The poet visualizes a young girl making a garland with glass pieces, pieces of precious gems and beads of gold all tied to the same thread

He finds some solace in the fact that the greatest scholar and grammarian Panini chose to put together.. shvaa,yuvaa and maghavaa in the same thread

There is another chatuslokam

शुनेव यूना प्रसभं मघोना प्रधर्शिता गौत्मधर्मपत्नी ।

विचारवान् पाणिनिरेकसूत्रे श्वानं युवानं मघवानमाह ॥

Like a dog (shuna) , Maghona (Indra) in theguise of a yoona(youth) sneaked into the hermitage of Gautama and indulged in illicit overtures with Ahaly the wife of Gutama. Thus the union of dog youth and Indra is revealed.. Perhaps Panini was thinking of the episode when he crafterd the thread tying together a dog youth and Indra

The following learners and expostulators are considered the most inferior among those pursue knowlledge, according to Panini.. as mentioned in his text Panini Shikshaa.

Panini identifies six types, jointly and severally..

1.One who reads and recites as if what he is learning is a song ( of course lyrics.. and Sama Veda which has to be sung.. have to be exempted )

2.One who reads or recites too fast

3.One who reads or recites shaking his head perhaps showing off his learnedness and self importance.( Most of the present generation priests and quacks do that effectively)

4.One who just reads from written text.. worse if he reads from a manuscript whose correctness is not validated.

5.One who has not understood the meaning of what he is reading, and worse still one who has understood the mening of what he reads or recites, all wrong

6.One who reads and recites in a muffled or subdued voice and tone.. ( of course this is not to encourage noise pollution by shouting)
