Bhartrhari’s Nitisatakam

[Brahmanyan]

Nitisatakam

It is easy to explain an ignorant person. Easier to explain a scholar.
Even the creator cannot explain to a person of a little knowledge suffering from pride.


The intelligent are steeped in envy, the leaders are corrupted by pride, and the rest are submerged in ignorance.
Good words, therefore, remain unspoken .

Re: Bhartrhari’s Nitisatakam

Here is another gem from Nitisatakam:

Ears get decorated by listening to and reading scriptures and not by ear-rings.
Hands get decorated by charity and not by gold bangles.
Body shines by compassion and helping others and not through sandalwood paste.

ச்ரோத்ரம் ச்ருதேநைவ -- காதுகளுக்கு அலங்காரம் நல் விஷயங்களைக் கேட்பதாலேயன்றி
ந குண்டலேந -- தங்கத்தாலான அணிகலன்களால் அல்ல.
தாநேந பாணி: - தாநத்தால் கைகள் அலங்கரிக்கப்படவேண்டும்
ந து கங்கணேந - (தங்க) வளையல்களால் அல்ல
விபாதி காய: பரோபகாரை: - பிறருக்கு உதவுவதால் கரணங்கள் (உடலின் பாகங்கள்)
அலங்கரிக்கப்படவேண்டும்
ந து சந்தநேந கரணாபரணம் -- உடல் அலங்காரம் பெறுவது சந்தனத்தால் அல்ல.

ஆங்கிலத்தில் விளக்கம் இருப்பதால் தமிழில் அவசியம் இல்லை என்று விட்டுவிட்டேன்.
