न विद्यया नैव कुलेन गौरवं
जनानुरागो धनिकेषु सर्वदा |
कपालिना मौलिधृताSपि जान्हवी
प्रयाति रत्नाSSकरमेव सत्वरम् ||
अर्थ - समाज में लोग विद्वान और महान् कुल में जन्मे गौरवशाली व्यक्तियों के प्रति उतना अनुराग
और सम्मान नहीं प्रदर्शित करते हैं जितना कि एक धनवान व्यक्ति के प्रति करते है | देखो तो ,भगवान्
शिव ने स्वर्ग से आयी जान्हवी (गङ्गा नदी ) को सम्मान दे कर अपने सिर पर धारण किया परन्तु वह तुरन्त महासागर से मिलने के लिये प्रस्थान कर गयी.|
(इस सुभाषित में गङ्गावतरण के प्रसंग की उपमा के कुशल और हास्यमय उपयोग के द्वारा इस तथ्य को प्रतिपादित किया है के जन सामान्य विद्वान ,और कुलशील वाले व्यक्ति को उतना महत्व नहीं देते हैं जितना एक धनवान व्यक्ति को, चाहे वह विद्वान् न हो और अच्छे कुल में भी उत्पन्न न हुआ हो | )
Na vidyayaa naiva kulena gauravam;
Janaanuraagob dhanikeshu sarvadaa.
Kapaalinaa maulidhrutaapi jaanhavi
Prayaati ratnaakarameva satvaram.
Na = not. Vidyayaa = by being a learned person. Naiva = not even. Kulena = the dynasty's
Gauravam = pride and respectability. Janaanuraaga = jana + anuraag. Jana = people,
Anuraag = affection, loyalty.. Dhanikeshu = rich persons Sarvadaa = always.
Kapaalinaa = Lord Shiva ( who holds a human skull (kapaal) in his hand.. Maulidhrutaapi =
Mauli + dhruta + api . Mauli = head. Dhruta = held. Api = even. Prayaati = proceeds,goes
Ratnaakar = the Ocean . Eva = already. Satvaram = hastily. immediately..
i.e. People do not show such loyalty and affection towards learned and great persons of noble lineage as they always show towards rich persons. Oh ! even the sacred river Ganges, whom Lord
Shiva even held on his forehead, immediately and hastily proceeded to meet the Ocean.
(In this Subhashita the author has skillfully and jokingly used a simile based on the legend of
'Gangaavatarana' i.e. how the sacred river Ganges was brought from Heaven to the Earth by the
king Bhagirath for the salvation of his ancestors. Pleased by the prayer of Bhagirath God Shiva agreed to allow the river to land on his forehead and thereafter proceed towards the Ocean, on whose banks the ancestors of Bhagirath were lying as ash. God Shiva is well known for his simple lifestyle and erudition unlike other Gods with lavish lifestyle. The Ocean is the repository of various precious things and has been alluded to a rich person.)
