To day's Subhashit.

विद्या नाम नरस्य रूपमधिकं प्रच्छन्न गुप्तं धनं
विद्या भोगकरी यशः सुखकरी विद्या गुरूणां गुरु:  |
विद्या बन्धुजनो विदेशगमने  विद्या   परं  दैवतं
विद्या राजसु पूज्यते नहि धनं विद्याविहीनः पशुः ||

Vidyaa naam narasya roopamadhikam pracchanna guptam dhanam.
Vidyaa bhogakaree yashh sukhakaree vidyaa gurunaam guruh.
Vidyaa bandhujano videshgamane vidyaa param daivatam.
Vidyaa raajasu poojyate nahi dhanam vidyaaviheenh pashuh.

Vidyaa = learning, knowledge.  Naam = name.,well known   Narasya = a person's
 Roopamadhikm = Roopa + adhikm.    Roop = beautiful appearance.    Adhikam =  more.            Pracchanna = hidden.     Guptam = secretly kept.    Dhanam = wealth.      Bhogakaree = producing enjoyment.      Yashh = fame.     Sukhkaree = pleasure giving.    Gurunaam = of the teachers.      Guruh = teacher.     Bandhujano = relatives , friends.   Videsh = foreign country.   Gamane = going to.
 Param =supreme.       Daivatm = God.     Raajasu = kings.      Poojyate =  honoured.    Nahi = not.    Dhanm = wealth. Viheena = in absence of , without.   Vidyaaviheena = an illiterate person    Pashu = animal.

i.e.      If a person is learned and knowledgeable, he is more well known than a beautiful person.. "Vidyaa"  is like hidden and secretly kept wealth and provides enjoyment, fame and happiness to to a person possessing it. He can even be an eminent  Scholar able to produce other teachers. During one's stay in a foreign country, Vidyaa is there to help him like a friend and relative.  In a King's court a learned person is honoured more than a rich person. Therefore,it is rightly said that an illiterate person is just like an animal .
