संपूर्ण कुम्भो न करोति शब्दं
अर्धो घटो घोषमुपेति नूनं
विद्वान् कुलीनों न करोति गर्व
गुणैर्विहीना बहु जल्पयन्ति
Sampoorna kumbho na karoti shabdam
Ardho ghato ghoshmupaiti noonam
Vidwan kuleeno na karoti garva
Gunairviheenaa bahu jalpayanti.
i.e. A pitcher full with water does not create any sound, whereas a half-filled pitcher always creates loud sound. Like-wise learned and noble persons never display pride over their achievements, whereas persons without any qualities brag too much about their so called achievements.
Sampoorna = whole, complete. Kumbha/ Ghat = a round pitcher with a small opening.
Karoti = does. Shabdam = sound. Ghosh = say with a loud sound.
Mupaiti = creates. Noonam = surely, always. Vidwaan = a learned person.
Kuleen = noble, Karoti = does. Garva = pride. Guna = qualities.
Viheena = without. Bahu = many, more. Jalpak = a loud-mouthed person, boaster, braggart.
Bahu Jalpayanti = bragging too much,

Thank you Sir. It is as relevant in today's world of boastful world leaders as it was in those days.
