Chanakya Neeti

siva.sh/chanakya-neeti/17/1

पुस्तके प्रत्ययाधीतं नाधीतं गुरुसन्निधौ । सभामध्ये न शोभते जारगर्भा इव स्त्रियः ॥१II

sanskrit

The scholar who has studied innumerable books without the blessings of a Sadguru does not shine as a true scholar in the gathering of scholars. In the same way as an adulterous woman does not look good in a gathering.

यद्वरं यददुराराध्यं यच्च दूरे व्यवस्थितम् । तत्सर्वं तपसा साध्यं तपो हि दुरतिक्रमम् ॥३॥

sanskrit

We can attain that which seems far away, which cannot be worshiped and which exists far away, if we do penance. Therefore penance is extremely strong.

लोभश्चेदगुणेन किं पिशुनता यद्यस्ति किं पातकैः सत्यं चेत्तपसा च किं शुचि मनो यद्यस्ति तीर्थेन किम् । सौजन्यं यदि किं गुणैः सुमहिमा यद्यस्ति किं मण्डनैः सद्विद्या यदि किं धनैरपयशो यद्यस्ति किं मृत्युना ॥४॥

sanskrit

What is a greater vice than greed? What is a greater sin than slander? What is the need to do penance for what is established in truth? Why does one who has a pure heart need a pilgrimage? If nature is good then what is the need for any other quality? If there is fame then what is the need for ornamentation? If you have good knowledge then what is the need for money? And if there is infamy then what is the fear of death.

पिता रत्नाकरो यस्य लक्ष्मीर्यस्य सहोदरा । शङ्खो भिक्षाटनं कुर्यान्न दत्तमुपतिष्ठते ॥५॥

sanskrit

The sea is the storehouse of all gems, it is the father of the conch, Goddess Lakshmi is the sister of the conch. But begging from door to door wanders around with a conch in their hands, this proves that only the one who has donated first gets the property.
