चतुर्वेदविन्न्यायः

It takes its origin from the story that an ignorant and unlettered man heard that the possesion of the knowledge of the four Vedas has the effect of procuring wealth. Hearing this he went on proclaiming himself fully conversant with the Vedas. But unhappily for him he got no gold, on the other hand he became a laughing stock of all wherever he went. It is used to denote that by false representation no one can gain any honour, rather thereby he lowers himself in the estimation of others.
