Today's Subhasshita.

कामधेनुगुणा  विद्या ह्यकाले  फलदायनी.  |
प्रवासे मातृ सदृशी  विद्या गुप्तं धनं स्मृतं  ||

अर्थ -     विद्या में  (पुराणों में वर्णित) कामधेनु गाय के समान हर समय  सभी इच्छाओं की पूर्ति करने के गुण विद्यामान हैं , और वह्  एक विद्वान् व्यक्ति के  विदेश में निवास के दौरान माता के  उसकी रक्षक  और सहायक  होती है | इसी कारण विद्या को गुप्त धन भी कहा जाता है |

Kaamadhenu Gunaa vidyaa hruyakaala phaladaayanee.
Pravase maatru sadrushee vidyaa guptam dhanam smrutam.

Kaamdhenu =  The legendary cow having powers of  granting all wishes, as mentioned i Hindu Mythology.
(For details please refer to the episode of 'Samudra Manthan' -en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Samudra_manthan‎)
Guna = qualities.    Vidyaa = knowledge, learning.  Hyakaale = hi +kaale.    Hi = surely.   Kaale = all times,  .
Phaladaayani = giving fruitful results,       Pravaase =  during stay in foreign countries.    Maatru = mother, 
Sadrushi = similar to. .  Gupta = secret, hidden         Dhanam = wealth.     Smrutam = termed as,  declared as.

i.e.      Knowledge and learning is endowed with the legendary qualities of 'Kaamdhenu" giving fruityful results 
at all times.  During one's stay in foreign lands it nurses and sustains a person like his own mother. That is why
knowledge and learning is termed as a secret and hidden wealth.
