अर्थ

'क्षणशः कणश्चैव' चाणक्य-नीति का परिश्रम एवं छोटे अंशों के महत्त्व पर एक प्रसिद्ध श्लोक है। यह विद्या को क्षण-क्षण और धन को कण-कण करके संचित करने की सलाह देता है, और चेतावनी देता है कि व्यर्थ गया क्षण विद्या खो देता है और व्यर्थ गया कण धन खो देता है। यह कालातीत सीख है कि महान उपलब्धियाँ समय और साधनों के सावधानीपूर्ण उपयोग से बनती हैं।

उत्पत्ति और कथा

Chanakya-niti (Subhashita) · Chanakya (Kautilya / Vishnugupta) · Ancient India (c. 4th century BCE; niti compilations later)

The Chanakya-niti is a celebrated collection of practical maxims on ethics, governance and worldly success attributed to the great statesman and teacher Chanakya, architect of the Mauryan empire. Among its many counsels on diligence, this verse urges the steady acquisition of learning and wealth in the smallest units of time and quantity, warning that whatever small portion is wasted is lost forever.

शास्त्रों में वर्णित

Generations of students and householders have taken this verse to heart, finding that those who refuse to waste even small moments and small sums quietly accumulate vast learning and lasting prosperity over a lifetime, exactly as Chanakya promised.

क्षणशः कणशश्चैव विद्यामर्थं साधयेत्। क्षणे नष्टे कुतो विद्या कणे नष्टे कुतो धनम्॥

kṣaṇaśaḥ kaṇaśaś caiva vidyām arthaṁ ca sādhayet। kṣaṇe naṣṭe kuto vidyā kaṇe naṣṭe kuto dhanam॥

अर्थ:विद्या को क्षण-क्षण और धन को कण-कण करके अर्जित करना चाहिए; क्योंकि यदि क्षण व्यर्थ गया तो विद्या कहाँ से, और यदि कण व्यर्थ गया तो धन कहाँ से? यह श्लोक सिखाता है कि विद्या और समृद्धि दोनों ही समय के प्रत्येक छोटे अंश और प्रत्येक छोटी प्राप्ति को महत्त्व देकर ही बनती हैं।

अक्सर पूछे जाने वाले प्रश्न

It is a well-known niti-shloka attributed to the Chanakya-niti tradition of Acharya Chanakya (Kautilya), and it is widely quoted in the Subhashita literature on diligence and the wise use of time and resources.
That knowledge should be gathered moment by moment and wealth particle by particle. Wasting a moment costs one the knowledge it could have brought, and wasting a small sum costs one the wealth it could have grown into — so nothing small should be squandered.
It is a timeless lesson in time-management and saving: use even small spans of time to learn, and even small amounts to build wealth. Great accomplishments are the sum of many well-used small moments and gains.
