अर्थ

भर्तृहरि के नीतिशतक का यह प्रिय श्लोक सिखाता है कि विनम्रता ही महानता का सहज लक्षण है। जैसे फलों से लदे वृक्ष झुक जाते हैं और जल से भरे मेघ पृथ्वी की ओर झुकते हैं, वैसे ही सच्चे सज्जन और परोपकारी लोग समृद्धि बढ़ने पर अधिक नम्र होते हैं, अहंकारी नहीं। यह संस्कृत साहित्य में समृद्धि, उदारता और विनम्रता के सम्बन्ध का सर्वाधिक उद्धृत दृष्टान्त है।

उत्पत्ति और कथा

Niti Shataka of Bhartrhari (Subhashita) · Bhartrhari · Classical Sanskrit literature (c. 5th century CE)

In his Niti Shataka, Bhartrhari repeatedly praises the character of the sajjana, the truly good person. Here he turns to nature for his lesson: the heavily fruiting tree and the water-bearing cloud both bend humbly toward the earth. From these images he draws the principle that the benevolent grow more modest as they grow more prosperous, making humility the very signature of a generous soul.

शास्त्रों में वर्णित

Teachers of niti often recount how this verse alone has softened proud hearts, for once a person truly sees the bowing tree and the descending cloud as mirrors of the noble soul, arrogance in prosperity begins to feel unnatural and humility becomes its own quiet reward.

भवन्ति नम्रास्तरवः फलोद्गमैः नवाम्बुभिर्भूमिविलम्बिनो घनाः। अनुद्धताः सत्पुरुषाः समृद्धिभिः स्वभाव एवैष परोपकारिणाम्॥

bhavanti namrās taravaḥ phalodgamaiḥ navāmbubhir bhūmi-vilambino ghanāḥ। anuddhatāḥ sat-puruṣāḥ samṛddhibhiḥ svabhāva evaiṣa paropakāriṇām॥

अर्थ:वृक्ष फलों के भार से झुक जाते हैं; नवीन जल से भरे हुए मेघ पृथ्वी की ओर झुककर नीचे आ जाते हैं; और सज्जन पुरुष समृद्धि पाकर भी अनुद्धत (अहंकाररहित) बने रहते हैं — क्योंकि यह विनम्रता ही परोपकारी जनों का सहज स्वभाव है। भर्तृहरि प्रकृति का दृष्टान्त देकर दिखाते हैं कि सच्ची महानता अहंकार से नहीं, बल्कि नम्रता से प्रकट होती है।

अक्सर पूछे जाने वाले प्रश्न

It means 'trees become bent low by the burden of fruit.' The full verse compares fruit-laden trees and rain-filled clouds, which both bow toward the earth, to noble people who remain humble amid prosperity — showing that humility is the natural way of the benevolent.
It is from the Niti Shataka of Bhartrhari, the renowned Sanskrit poet-philosopher, in his hundred verses on ethics and right living.
That genuine greatness and prosperity should make a person more humble and giving, not more arrogant. The natural world itself models this: abundance causes the tree and the cloud to bend low, just as it makes the noble person gentle and unassuming.
