काचः काञ्चनसंसर्गाद्धत्ते मारकतीं द्युतिं |
तथा सत्संनिधानेन मूर्खो याति प्रतिष्ठितां || - महासुभषितसंग्रह (९३३७)
भावार्थ - साधारण कांच भी स्वर्ण के संसर्ग में (किसी स्वर्णाभूषण में
खचित हो कर ) एक मरकत मणि के समान चमक प्राप्त कर लेता है |
तथा सज्जन और विद्वान व्यक्तियों के साथ निकटता होने के कारण
मूर्ख व्यक्ति भी समाज में प्रतिष्ठित हो जाते हैं |
Kachah kaanchansmsargaaddhate maarakateem dyutim.
Tathaa satsmnidhaanena moorkho yaati pratishthithaam.
kaachah = ordinary glass. Kaanchana = gold. Sansargaat =
in association with. Dhatte = gets. Maarakateem = like an
emerald. Dyuteem = brightness, radiance. Tathaa = also
Sataam = noble and righteous persons. Sannnidhaanena =
due to nearness with. Moorkho = foolish persons. Yaati =
acquires. Pratishthitaam = celebrity status, fame.
i.e. Even a piece of ordinary glass in association with gold
( on being studded on a gold ornament) acquires the brightness
of an emerald gem. Likewise, due to nearness with noble and
righteous persons, even foolish persons acquire celebrity status
and fame in society.
