आज का सुभाषित / Today's Subhashita..

हर्तुर्याति  न  गोचरं  किमपि  शं  पुष्णाति  यत्सर्वदा
ह्यार्थिभ्यः प्रतिपाद्यमानमनिशं प्राप्नोति वृद्धिं पराम्  ||
कल्पान्तेष्वपि   न प्रयाति निधनं  विद्याख्यमन्तर्धनं
येषां  तान्प्रति मानमुज्झत  नृपाः कस्तैः सह स्पर्धते    ||
                                                                   - भर्तृहरि (नीति शतक )

भावार्थ -   विद्या  एक  ऐसा धन है  जो एक चोर को भी नहीं दिखाई देता
है पर फिर भी जिस के पास भी यह धन  होता है  वह सदैव सुखी रहता है |    
निश्चय ही विद्या प्राप्त करने के इच्छुक व्यक्तियों को दान देने से यह
दान दाता के सम्मान में तथा स्वयं भी निरन्तर वृद्धि प्राप्त करता है और
कल्पान्त तक  (लाखों वर्षों  तक ) इसका नाश नहीं हो सकता  है |   इसी
लिये विद्या को  लोग एक गुप्त धन  कहते हैं .और इसी लिये महान राजा
भी ऐसे विद्या धन से संपन्न व्यक्ति के प्रति अपने गर्व को त्याग कर
उसका सम्मान करते  हैं |   भला ऐसे व्यक्ति से कौन स्पर्धा कर सकता है ?

Harturyaati na gocharam kimapi shm pushnaati yatsarvadaa.
Hyaarthibhyah pratipaadyamaanamanisham praapnoti vrudddhim paraam.
Kalpaanteshvapi na prayaati nidhanam vidyaakhyamantardhanam.
Yeshaam taanprati maanamujjhat nrupaah kastaih saha  spardhate.

Harturyaati = hartuh + yaati.    Hartuh = a thief.   Yaati = is able .
Na = not.   Gocharam = visible.    Kimapi = kim + api  = even then.
Shm = happiness.    Pushnaati = bestows.  Yatsarvadaa = always.
Hyaarthibhy= hi + arthibhyah.   Hi = surely.   Arthibhyah = those
seeking wealth.   Pratipaadya + maanam+ anisham.   Pratipaadya = give.
Maan = respect.   Anisham = constantly.  Praapnoti = gets.  Vruddhim =
growth.   Paraam = excellent.   Kalpaanteshu= end of a Kalpa (measure of
time in millions of years.  Api = even.  Na = not.       Prayaati = becomes.
Nidhanam = perishes.      Vidya + aakhyam  +antardhanam.       Vidyaa =
knowledge.   Aakhya = is said to be.   Antardhanam = Hidden wealth.  
Yeshaam = whom.   Taaanpriti = towards them.     Maanam+Ujjhata.  
Maanam = pride.    Ujjhat = give up.    Nrupaah = kings.     Kahh+taih .
Kahh = what.    Taih = they.   Saha = with.    Spardhate =compete.

i.e.   Knowledge is such a wealth that it is always invisible to a thief ,
but still it bestows happiness to the person possessing it.  If he donates
this wealth to its seekers, then his respect and the wealth both increase
continuously and such wealth does not perishes even after many ages.
Only for this reason knowledge is termed as a hidden wealth and even
Kings honour such knowledgeable persons by shedding their pride.
Who can compete with such learned persons  ?
