Today's Subhashita.

सुशीलो  मातृ  पुण्येन  पितृ  पुण्येन  चातुरः |
औदार्यं वंश पुण्येन आत्मा पुण्येन भाग्यवान्  ||

अर्थ -     एक व्यक्ति अपनी माता के पुण्यों के कारण सुशील होता है और पिता के पुण्यों से चतुर होता है |
उदारता उसे अपनी  वंश परम्परा से प्राप्त होती है तथा  स्वयं अर्जित पुण्यों से वह् भाग्यवान्  होता है |

(सनातन धर्म की मान्यता है कि अपने सद्व्यवहार और सत्कर्मों द्वारा मनुष्य 'पुण्य' अर्जित करता है जिस का प्रतिफल उसे अगले  जन्म में यशस्वी तथा सुखमय जीवन प्रदान  करता है तथा कभी वर्तमान जन्म की अवधि में भी उसके पुण्य फलीभूत हो जाते हैं |  माता और पिता का अपनी संतानों को अच्छे संस्कार  देने का दायित्व होता है जिस को इस सुभाषित में प्रतिपादित किया गया है | )

Sushilo maatru punyena pitru punyena chaaturah.
Audaaryam vamsha punyena aatma punyena bhaagyavaan.

Sushilo = good tempered.     Maatru = mother.    Punyena = on account of moral and religious merit.
(Punya is a concept of Hindu Religion according to which by leading a virtuous and pious life a person earns certain plus points, which entitle him to enjoy a comfortable and virtuous lifestyle in his next birth cycle or even during his lifetime.)       Pitru = father.      Chaaturah = skilled, cleaver.
Audaarya = generosity.    Vamsha = family dynasty.     Aatma = self.     Bhaagyaan = lucky.

i.e.      A person becomes good tempered due to the 'Punyas' of his mother and  becomes skilled
due to the 'Punya' of his father.   He becomes generous due to,his family dynasty, and becomes lucky due to his own 'Punya' .

(It is well established that parents and particularly the mother, play a very important role in shaping the personality of a child. Generosity is a trait which runs through a dynasty and is inherited by the descendants.  This aspect has been beautifully brought out in the above Subhashita through the concept of 'Punya' of Hindu Religion.)
