विद्वानेन विजानाति विद्द्वज्ज्न्परिश्रमम् .
न हि बन्ध्या विजानाति गुर्वी प्रसववेदनाम्.
Vidwaanen vijaanaati viddwajjnaparishramm .
Na hi bandhyaa vijaanaati gurvi prasavavednaa.
i.e. Only a learned persons knows how much effort a person has to make to become a learned person. So also a barren woman does not know how much pain a pregnant woman has to bear during child-birth.
Vidwaan = a learned person. Vijaanaati = knows. Viddwajjan = learned persons.
Parishramam = efforts made. Na hi = does not, Bandhyaa = a barren woman, a woman who is medically incapable of getting pregnant and bear a child.
Gurvi = a pregnant woman. Prasav = the process of child birth. Vednaa = pain.
(In this subhashit a foolish person is compared to a barren woman and the process of acquiring knowledge to pregnancy and the process of child-birth entailing hardships and unforeseen problems. Just as a barren woman can not visualise the pain a woman has to bear during child birth,similarly a foolish person is also oblivious of the effort and sacrifice one has to make to become a learned person, which only a learned person knows.)
