தோற்றம் & கதை
Chanakya Niti · Chanakya (Vishnugupta / Kautilya) · Ancient India (c. 4th–3rd century BCE)
Chanakya, himself a learned acharya who shaped an empire by his wisdom, repeatedly exalted knowledge above material wealth. In this verse he heaps three great images upon vidya — the wish-fulfilling cow, the protecting mother, and the hidden treasure — to teach that learning is the surest and most enduring of all forms of wealth.
✦ சாத்திரங்களில் கூறியபடி
It is said of many a scholar who lost everything in misfortune yet rose again by their learning alone, that they proved this verse true — for knowledge, the hidden treasure none could steal, fed them like a mother and bore fruit even in their hardest season.

பொருள்:Knowledge is like the divine wish-fulfilling cow (Kamadhenu), for it bears fruit even in adverse, out-of-season times; in a foreign land it is like a mother, and it is regarded as a hidden, inexhaustible treasure. Chanakya extols learning as the most reliable of all riches — nourishing, protective and ever-yielding, even when all else fails.
