व्यये कृते वर्धते एव नित्यं विद्याधनं सर्वधन प्रधानम् ॥

6.विद्या नाम नरस्य रूपमधिकं प्रच्छन्नगुप्तं धनम्

 विद्या भोगकरी यशः सुखकरी विद्या गुरूणां गुरुः ।

विद्या राजसु पूज्यते न हि धनं विद्याविहीनः पशुः ॥

Vidhyaa   rajasu poojyathe na hi dhanam vidhya heena pasu

 

The form of man  is his visible education and invisible  wealth

It grants pleasure, fame  and is   teacher  of teachers

And one   without   education  is a mere  animal

13.विद्या नाम नरस्य कीर्तिरतुला भाग्यक्षये चाश्रयो

धेनुः कामदुधा रतिश्च विरहे नेत्रं तृतीयं च सा ।

सत्कारायतनं कुलस्य महिमा रत्नैर्विना भूषणम्

 तस्मादन्यमुपेक्ष्य सर्वविषयं विद्याधिकारं कुरु ॥

 

Vidhyaa  naama   narasya keerthir athulaa  bhgyakshaye chaasrayo

Dhenu  kaamadhudhaa  rathischa virahe nethram tritheeyam cha saa

Sathkaaraaya  thanam kulasya  mahimaa  rather vinaa  bhooshanam

Thasmaad anyam upekshya sarva vishayam  vidhyaadhikaaram  kuru

 

Education  is man’s  incomparable fame, it grants support  when luck diminishes

It is desire fulfilling cow, is equal  to Rathi when you are love lorn and is like  a third eye

The temple of hospitality,  greatness to the clan, ornament without gems

And so leave  out everything and make education your boss
