दारिद्र्यनाशनं दानं शीलं दुर्गति नाशनम् |
अज्ञाननाशिनी प्रज्ञा भावना भयनाशिनी ||
- चाणक्य नीति ( ५/१० )
भावार्थ - दान से दरिद्रता का नाश हो जाता है तथा शील (सच्चरित्रता)
से दुःखों का नाश हो जाता है | बुद्धिमत्ता से अज्ञान का नाश हो जाता
है तथा सद्विचारों पर दृढ रहने से भय का नाश हो जाता है |
Daaridrya-naaashanam daanam sheelam durgati naashanam.
Agyaana-naashinee pragyaa bhaavanaa bhaya-naashinee,
Daaridrya = poverty. Naashanam =destruction, removal.
Daanam = donation, giving away as charity. Sheelam =
good character, virtues. Durgati = distress. Agyaana=
ignorance. Pragyaa = Intelligence. Bhaavanaa = right
conception or notion. Bhaya = fear. Nashinee = remover,
destroyer.
i.e. Giving money and wealth as charity tends to remove
poverty, and having good character and virtues removes
distress. Intelligence destroys ignorance, and having a firm
and right conception destroys the element of fear.
