Ekena Api Suvrikshena (One Good Tree, One Good Son) PDF

एकेनापि सुवृक्षेण पुष्पितेन सुगन्धिना। वासितं तद्वनं सर्वं सुपुत्रेण कुलं यथा॥

ekenāpi suvṛkṣeṇa puṣpitena sugandhinā। vāsitaṁ tad-vanaṁ sarvaṁ suputreṇa kulaṁ yathā॥

Just as a single fine tree in full, fragrant bloom fills an entire forest with its sweetness, so a single virtuous son brings honour and fragrance to his whole family. The verse celebrates quality over quantity: one truly good child, like one blossoming tree, is enough to ennoble all around it.
