This verse belongs to the vast Subhashita tradition — pithy, elegant Sanskrit sayings on wisdom and right living passed down through generations and gathered in numerous anthologies. With its homely image of the silent full pot and the noisy half-empty one, it has become one of the most quoted illustrations of humility, contrasting the calm dignity of true merit with the loud emptiness of the unworthy.
✦ శాస్త్రాలలో చెప్పినట్లు
Elders and teachers across India quote this verse to gently humble the boastful; it is often said that a single hearing of the image of the silent full pot has quieted many a proud tongue and turned a show-off toward the deeper dignity of genuine learning.
మంత్రం
ఏ పంక్తిపైన అయినా లేదా ▶ బటన్పై తాకి వినండి
సమ్పూర్ణకుమ్భో న కరోతి శబ్దం అర్ధో ఘటో ఘోషముపైతి నూనమ్। విద్వాన్కులీనో న కరోతి గర్వం గుణైర్విహీనా బహు జల్పయన్తి॥
sampūrṇakumbho na karoti śabdaṁ ardho ghaṭo ghoṣam upaiti nūnam। vidvān kulīno na karoti garvaṁ guṇair vihīnā bahu jalpayanti॥
అర్థం:A pot filled to the brim makes no sound, while a half-filled pot surely splashes and rattles loudly. In the same way a truly learned and well-born person never grows arrogant, whereas those devoid of merit prattle and boast a great deal. The verse compares empty noise to empty character, praising the quiet dignity of genuine worth.
