येषां न विद्या न तपो न दानं
ज्ञानं न शीलं न गुणो न धर्मः |
ते मर्त्यलोके भुवि भारभूता
मनुष्यरूपेण मृगाश्चरन्ति ||
-चाणक्य नीति (१०/७ )
भावार्थ - जिन व्यक्तियों के पास न तो विद्या है न तप
है , न वे दानशील हैं , न ज्ञानी हैं, न गुणवान हैं और न धर्म के
नियमों का पालन करते हैं ,ऐसे व्यक्ति इस नश्वर संसार में
पृथ्वी के ऊपर एक बोझ की तरह मनुष्य के रूप में पशुओं की
तरह विचरण करते हैं |
Yeshaam na vidyaa na tapo na daanam.
Gyaanam na sheelam na guno na dharmah.
Tey martyuloke bhuvi bhaarabhootaa.
Manushyaroopena mrugaashcharanti.
Yeshaam = those. Na = not. Vidyaa= learning
Tapo = religious austerity. Daanam = giving away
as charity, Gyaanam = knowledge. Sheelam =
character. Guno = virtues Dharmah = religion.
Tey = they. Martyaloke = in this mortal world,
Bhuvi = the Earth. Bhaarabhootaa = as a burden.
Manushy-roopena = in the form of Human beings.
Mrugaah = animals, antelopes. Charanti = graze ,
move around.
i.e. Those persons who are not learned, do nor observe
religious austerity, do not help others by giving donations,
are not knowledgeable, do not have good moral character ,
and do not follow the tenets of their Religion, are in fact
like beasts in the form of human beings roaming in this
perishable world as a burden on the Earth.
