nāpṛṣṭaḥ kasya cid brūyān na cānyāyena pṛcchataḥ
jānann api hi medhāvī jaḍaval loka ācaret //

Unless one be asked, one must not explain (anything) to anybody, nor (must one answer) a person who asks improperly; let a wise man, though he knows (the answer), behave among men as (if he were) an idiot.

Georg Bühler 1886, The Laws of Manu
