अतिथीनां न संस्कारो न च सज्जनसंगमः |
न यत्र स्वात्मवर्णस्था सः ग्रहाश्रम वञ्चना ||
अर्थ - जिस परिवार में अतिथियों का आदर सत्कार नहीं होता है , न सज्जन व्यक्तियों का समागम होता है और न हीं उसके सदस्यों का जीवन स्तर उच्च होता है , ऐसा परिवार होना एक छलावा मात्र है |
(प्रकारान्त से इस सुभाषित के अनुसार एक सुखी और सुसंस्कृत परिवार तभी होता है जब वहां अतिथियों का सत्कार और सज्जन व्यक्तियों का सान्निध्य सदैव होता है |)
Atitheenaam na sanskaaro na cha sajjanasangamah.
Na yatra svaatmavarnasthaa saa gruhaashrama vanchanaa.
Atitheenaam = guests. Na = not. Sanskaaro = adornment, embellishment, Cha = and.
Sajjanasangamah = assembly of noble person. Yatra = where. Svaatmavarnasthaa = sva +
aatmavarnasthaa. Sva = of self. Aatmavarnasthaa = quality of life. Sah = that.
Gruhaashram = household. Vanchanaa = a deception., travesty.
i.e. In a household where guests are not adorned and entertained, there is no association with noble and righteous persons, and its members have no social status and quality of life, then such a household is like a mere deception or a travesty of being a household.
(Through this subhashita the author has indirectly mentioned the prerequisites of a successful and
illustrious house hold i.e. giving due respect and attention towards the guests, association with noble and righteous persons and a high standards of living.)
