अर्थ

चाणक्य का यह प्रिय सुभाषित यह शाश्वत सिद्धान्त सिखाता है कि संख्या से अधिक गुण महत्त्वपूर्ण है। जैसे एक ही पुष्पित, सुगन्धित वृक्ष सम्पूर्ण वन को महका देता है, वैसे ही एक सद्गुणी सन्तान सम्पूर्ण कुल को गौरव और कीर्ति प्रदान कर देती है। चरित्र की उत्कृष्टता की प्रशंसा में और माता-पिता को यह स्मरण कराने के लिए यह श्लोक व्यापक रूप से उद्धृत होता है कि एक सचमुच सुयोग्य सन्तान अनेक साधारण सन्तानों से बड़ा वरदान है।

उत्पत्ति और कथा

Chanakya Niti · Chanakya (Kautilya / Vishnugupta) · Ancient India (c. 4th–3rd century BCE)

Chanakya, the great teacher of ethics and statecraft, gathered pithy verses of practical wisdom that have been transmitted for over two millennia. This verse, among his most beloved, uses the image of a single fragrant tree scenting an entire forest to teach that one virtuous child brings honour to a whole lineage — a vivid lesson on the supremacy of quality over quantity.

शास्त्रों में वर्णित

Wise elders quote this verse to console parents and to praise the worthy, observing that history remembers a family not for the number of its children but for the one whose virtue perfumed its name. It is said that a single life of true goodness can redeem and uplift an entire lineage.

एकेनापि सुवृक्षेण पुष्पितेन सुगन्धिना। वासितं तद्वनं सर्वं सुपुत्रेण कुलं यथा॥

ekenāpi suvṛkṣeṇa puṣpitena sugandhinā। vāsitaṁ tad-vanaṁ sarvaṁ suputreṇa kulaṁ yathā॥

अर्थ:जैसे एक ही सुन्दर, पुष्पित और सुगन्धित वृक्ष सम्पूर्ण वन को अपनी सुगन्ध से भर देता है, वैसे ही एक सुपुत्र अपने सम्पूर्ण कुल को सुवासित (गौरवान्वित) कर देता है। यह श्लोक संख्या पर गुण की श्रेष्ठता बताता है: एक सचमुच सुयोग्य सन्तान, एक खिले हुए वृक्ष के समान, अपने चारों ओर सबको उज्ज्वल करने के लिए पर्याप्त है।

Recite the verse calmly, picturing one blossoming, fragrant tree perfuming an entire forest, then carrying that image to a single virtuous child gracing a whole family.

अक्सर पूछे जाने वाले प्रश्न

It is a celebrated subhashita preserved in the Chanakya Niti, the collection of ethical and worldly aphorisms attributed to Chanakya (Kautilya). It is one of the most quoted verses praising quality over quantity.
That one excellent example outweighs many mediocre ones. Just as a single flowering, fragrant tree can perfume an entire forest, a single virtuous child brings honour to a whole family — so character and quality matter far more than numbers.
Though the verse literally says 'suputra' (a good son), in keeping with its age its spirit applies to any virtuous child or person. Its real lesson is universal: one life of genuine goodness ennobles everyone connected to it.
