మూలం & కథ

Chanakya-niti (Subhashita) · Chanakya (Kautilya / Vishnugupta) · Ancient India (c. 4th century BCE; niti compilations later)

The Chanakya-niti gathers the practical wisdom of the great statesman and teacher Chanakya, who guided the rise of the Mauryan empire. Among its counsels on family and learning, this striking verse declares education the foremost duty of parents, warning that to leave a child unlettered is to do him the harm of an enemy, for he will stand graceless among the learned like a heron among swans.

శాస్త్రాలలో చెప్పినట్లు

This verse has spurred countless parents across the ages to ensure their children are educated even at great sacrifice; it is often recounted that families who took its warning to heart lifted their descendants into lives of learning, dignity and respect.

అర్థం:The mother is an enemy and the father a foe by whom a child is not educated; for such an unlettered person does not shine in an assembly of the learned, just as a heron does not shine in the midst of swans. The verse stresses that giving a child education is the highest duty of parents.

It is one of the most famous verses of the Chanakya-niti, the collection of practical maxims attributed to Acharya Chanakya (Kautilya), and it is widely quoted on the importance of educating children.
That parents who fail to educate their child do them a great disservice — comparable to being an enemy — because an unlettered person cannot shine among the learned, just as a heron looks out of place among swans. Education is the highest duty of parents.
The image conveys feeling out of place and unable to shine. In an assembly of the learned (the swans), the unlettered person (the heron) stands apart and unadorned — underscoring how education lends grace and standing in cultured company.
