अपूर्वः कोपि कोशोयं विद्यते तव भारती
व्ययतो वृद्धिम् आयाति क्षयम् आयाति संचयात् .
Apoorvah kopi koshoyam vidyate tav Bharati
Vyayato vruddhim aayaati kshyam aayaati sanchayaat.
i.e. O Goddess Saraswati, your Treasure is unique in nature. It increases when it is freely spent and gets destroyed if it is hoarded (and not shared with others).
(The underlying idea in this Subhashit is that the more knowledge is shared with others, the more it tends to broaden and improves the concept being shared , leading to opening of new vistas of knowledge. If knowledge is kept by a person to himself, it perishes and is lost forever, as has been the case with many disciplines of knowledge in the past.
There is another Subhashit - "अनभ्यासे विषं शास्त्रं " --Anabhyaase visham shaastram - i.e. if any discipline of knowledge is not revised/recapitulated regularly by a person,it tends to turn useless like a poison. So it has to be used regularly and recapitulated and the best way to do so is to share and teach it to other deserving persons. This is more applicable to the disciplines of fine arts, music, medicine etc. requiring continuous revision and up-gradation. If this is not done the discipline decays and after some time is lost for ever. There are numerous examples of this phenomena in our society.
Apoorva = unique, unending Kosha = Treasure Vidyate = is , happens to be .
Tav = yours. Bharati = Saraswati, the Goddess of Learning.
Vyayato = by spending. Vruddhim = increase. Aayati = gets, comes.
Kshyam = decreasing, decaying. Sanchaya = hoarding.

Very nice description!
ReplyDeleteThank you.
ReplyDeleteVery well described
ReplyDeleteGood
ReplyDeleteThanking so much for your all the subhashitani
ReplyDeleteYes thanks
DeleteThank you for sharing this with us it's very much useful for us
ReplyDeleteNot only that, it can't be stolen. Even if it is stolen,it remains with the person from whom it is stolen but Goddess Lakshmi's wealth, if stolen, is lost for ever. Where as if Goddess Lakshmi's wealth if saved, it increases, but gets diminished and depleted when distributed. So whose wealth is better? Goddess Saraswati's wealth Vidya or knowledge or Goddess Lakshmi's wealth, money. A good thought to ponder on Saraswati Puja Day.30.1.2020.
ReplyDeleteWonderful explanation. Knowledge is the only wealth which increases by spending. So share maximum knowledge and in thus way you can uplift yourself
