वित्तं बन्धुर्वयः कर्म विद्या भवति पञ्चमी |
एतानि मान्यस्थानानि गरीयो यद्यदुत्तरम् ||
- मनु स्मृति (२/१३६ )
भावार्थ - धन संपत्ति, सगे संबन्धी , आयु , किये हुए सत्कर्म ,
और पांचवी विद्या , ये पांच स्थान (साधन ) ही मनुष्य को प्रतिष्ठा
(सम्मान) दिलाने के साधन हैं | ये क्रमशः एक दूसरे से श्रेष्ठ हैं ,
अर्थात धन की तुलना में संबन्धी, संबन्धी की तुलना में मनुष्य की
आयु और अन्ततः विद्वत्ता ही सर्वश्रेष्ठ है |
