ಮೂಲ & ಕಥೆ
Subhashita (Sanskrit niti and vairagya literature) · Traditional (anonymous wisdom verse) · Classical Sanskrit literature
This verse belongs to the Subhashita tradition of reflective sayings on the fleeting nature of worldly life. Composed to awaken detachment and noble aspiration, it lists in quick succession the things people hold most dear — wealth, life, youth — and shows each to be unsteady, before turning the listener toward the one enduring treasure: an honourable name won through good deeds, by which a person lives on long after death.
✦ ಶಾಸ್ತ್ರಗಳಲ್ಲಿ ಹೇಳಿದಂತೆ
It is often said that the heroes and sages of old are present among us still through this very truth — their bodies long gone, yet their fame undimmed across the ages — proving the verse's promise that he whose kirti endures never truly dies.

ಅರ್ಥ:Wealth is fleeting, the life-breaths are fleeting, life and youth are fleeting; all this world is transient and unstable — only he truly lives whose fame (good name) endures. The verse teaches that since all worldly things pass away, lasting glory earned through noble deeds is the one thing that gives life true meaning.
