Sanskrit Subhashita (niti tradition; cited in Chanakya Niti literature) · Anonymous (traditional niti subhashita) · Classical Sanskrit literature
This verse belongs to the great body of niti-shlokas that distilled practical and moral wisdom for kings, ministers and ordinary people alike. By counting how rarely each kind of excellence appears, it makes a striking point about the supreme value of generosity, and it has long been quoted to praise those rare souls who give without expectation of return.
✦ ଶାସ୍ତ୍ରରେ କୁହାଯାଇଥିବା ପରି
Tradition holds that the rare true giver described in this verse earns merit beyond that of heroes and scholars, for while their fame fades, the blessings of the selfless giver are said to follow them across lifetimes.

ଅର୍ଥ:Among a hundred men a hero is born; among a thousand, a scholar; among ten thousand, a great orator — but a true giver may or may not exist at all. The verse ranks human virtues by their rarity, placing genuine generosity highest of all, so uncommon that it cannot be counted on to appear even among multitudes.
