नमन्ति फलानि वृक्षा नमन्ति गुणिनो जनाः
शुष्क काष्ठ्श्च मूर्खश्च न नमन्ति कदाचन .
Namanti phalaani brukshaa namanti gunino janaah.
Shushka kaashthasch moorkhshch na namanti kadachan.
i.e. Trees laden with fruits bow with the weight of the fruits, and so also knowledgeable and learned persons with their knowledge (are always polite in their behaviour towards others). On the other hand dried wood and foolish persons never bend (are rigid and unwieldy).
Naman = to bow or submit, to bend the head in greeting a person. Namanti = the act of bowing.
Phalani = fruits. Bruksha = tree. Phalaani Brikshaa = fruits bearing trees.
Gunino Janaah = Knowledgeable and learned pewrsons. Guna = special skill or quality.
Jana = person. Shushka = dry. Kashtha = wood. Moorkh = a dull and unlettered person..
Kadachan = denoting a period or time - ever or never, to be used according to the particular usage; here used to denote never.
(The underlying idea behind this Subhashit is that virtuous and learned persons are always polite in their behaviour towards others. The more they are learned the more polite they are, like a tree laden with fruits. The tree yields with the weight of its fruits, whereas a dried branch of a tree if subjected to a weight breaks and so also dull and foolish persons do not respond to any attempt to shape them into learned person like a piece of dry wood, which can not be bent to shape it and breaks if subjected to a force.)
