न चोरहार्यं न च राज्यहार्यं न भ्रातृभाज्यं न च भारकारी |
व्यये कृते वर्धत एव नित्यं विद्या धनं सर्वधनप्रधानम् ||
Na chor haarym na cha raajya haaryam na bhraatrubhaajyam na cha bhaarakaari.
Vyaye krute vardhati eva nityam vidyaa dhanam sarva dhanapradhaanam.
Na = not . Chorahaaryam = chor +haaryam. Chor= a thief. Haryam = capable of being stolen or taken away.. Raajyahaaryam = capable of being confiscated by the Government.
Bhraatrybhaajyaam = bhraatru + bhaajyam. Bhraatru = brothers. Bhaajyam = divisible as an inheritance. Bhaarakaari = as a burden (like a heavy load on one's back or head) Vyaya = spending. Krute = doing. Vardhat = increases. Eva = surely. Nityam = every day.
Vidyaa = learning, scholarshiop. Dhanam = wealth, riches, money. Sarva = all..Pradhaanam = foremost, most important.
i.e. Unlike other forms of wealth, scholarship and learning can neither be stolen by a thief nor can the Government confiscate it, It is also not divisible among brothers as a share in ancestral wealth. On the other hand the more you spend it (shared with others) the more it increases day by day. No doubt, wealth in the form of knowledge, scholarship and learning is the foremost among all forms of wealth.
(Through this Subhashit the author has eulogised 'Vidyaa Dhan" and termed it as the foremost among all forms or wealth and riches.)
