As regards the other two amendments which in my view must be taken together or rejected together, I would only say that at times I feel that this Draft Constitution has been encumbered with needless verbiage, words which might have been reduced in number, words which might have been omitted. I am aware that the elephant is one of our emblems but I am sure the House does not agree we should make the Constitution an elephantine one. Our sages and wise men have written sciences and philosophy in brief Sutras and one of our greatest men–I think it was Vyasa himself who took pride in his sloka when he said–
Shlokardhena pravakshyami yaduktam granthakotibhim.
*[What crores of Granthas have said I will say in half a verse.]*
