Chanakya-niti (Subhashita) · Chanakya (Kautilya / Vishnugupta) · Ancient India (c. 4th century BCE; niti compilations later)
The Chanakya-niti gathers the practical wisdom of the great statesman and teacher Chanakya, who guided the rise of the Mauryan empire. Among its counsels on family and learning, this striking verse declares education the foremost duty of parents, warning that to leave a child unlettered is to do him the harm of an enemy, for he will stand graceless among the learned like a heron among swans.
✦ ଶାସ୍ତ୍ରରେ କୁହାଯାଇଥିବା ପରି
This verse has spurred countless parents across the ages to ensure their children are educated even at great sacrifice; it is often recounted that families who took its warning to heart lifted their descendants into lives of learning, dignity and respect.

ମାତା ଶତ୍ରୁଃ ପିତା ଵୈରୀ ଯେନ ବାଲୋ ନ ପାଠିତଃ। ନ ଶୋଭତେ ସଭାମଧ୍ଯେ ହଂସମଧ୍ଯେ ବକୋ ଯଥା॥
mātā śatruḥ pitā vairī yena bālo na pāṭhitaḥ। na śobhate sabhā-madhye haṁsa-madhye bako yathā॥
ଅର୍ଥ:वह माता शत्रु और वह पिता वैरी के समान है जिसने अपने बालक को नहीं पढ़ाया; क्योंकि ऐसा अनपढ़ व्यक्ति विद्वानों की सभा में वैसे ही शोभा नहीं पाता जैसे हंसों के बीच बगुला। यह श्लोक इस बात पर बल देता है कि बालक को शिक्षा देना माता-पिता का सर्वोच्च कर्तव्य है।
