మూలం & కథ

Hitopadesha (Subhashita) · Narayana Pandita (compiler of the Hitopadesha) · Classical Sanskrit literature (c. 9th–12th century CE)

The Hitopadesha is a collection of instructive animal fables in prose interspersed with verse, composed to teach princes wisdom and statecraft through delightful stories. This verse appears among its niti-shlokas, distilling the entire purpose of learning into a single elegant chain that begins with vidya and ends with sukha.

శాస్త్రాలలో చెప్పినట్లు

Generations of Sanskrit teachers have observed that students who internalise this verse approach their studies with reverence rather than pride; it is often said that the truly learned are recognised not by their boasting but by the gentle humility this shloka extols.

It is a celebrated Subhashita (wise saying) preserved in the Hitopadesha, a classical Sanskrit collection of moral fables compiled by Narayana. It is also widely quoted in the broader Subhashita tradition.
It teaches that genuine knowledge expresses itself first as humility. From humility one becomes worthy, from worthiness comes prosperity, prosperity rightly used becomes righteousness, and righteousness finally yields lasting happiness.
Because it captures the true aim of education in a single line — that learning should refine character and make a person humble and useful, rather than merely clever or proud. Many institutions adopt it as a motto.
