निर्गुणस्य हतं रूपं दुःशीलस्य हतं कुलम् |
असिद्धस्य हता विद्या ह्यभोगेन हतं धनम् ||
- चाणक्य नीति (८/१६)
भावार्थ - एक गुणों से रहित व्यक्ति की छवि समाज में नष्ट
हो जाती है तथा एक चरित्रहीन और दुष्ट व्यक्ति के कारण उस
के कुल का नाश हो जाता है | एक अकुशल व्यक्ति कभी भी विद्या
प्राप्त नहीं कर सकता है तथा निश्चय ही धन भी (एक कृपण व्यक्ति
के द्वारा )उपभोग न किये जाने पर अन्ततः नष्ट हो जाता है |
Nirgunasya hatam roopam duhsheelasya hatam kulam.
Asiddhasya hataa vidyaa hyabhogena hatam dhanam.
Nirgunasya = a person without any qualities or virtues.
Hatam = destroyed, perishes. Roopam = beauty, image.
Duhsheelasya = a wicked person's Kulam = family, clan.
Asiddhasya = an incompetent person's. Hataa = useless
Vidyaa =knowledge. Hi+ abhogena. Hi = surely.
Abhogena=by not enjoying or utilising. Dhanam= wealth.
i.e. The status and image of a person without any qualities
and virtues is destroyed in the society, and a wicked person's
family ultimately perishes . An incompent person can never
acquire knowledge , and wealth (hoarded by a miser) is surely
destroyed if it is not properly utilised or consumed.
