अर्थ

'विद्वानेव विजानाति' परिश्रम की पहचान पर एक मार्मिक सुभाषित है। यह कहता है कि एक विद्वान के परिश्रम को केवल दूसरा विद्वान ही समझ सकता है, और इसकी तुलना उस स्त्री से करता है जिसने कभी जन्म नहीं दिया और जो प्रसव-पीड़ा को नहीं समझ सकती। यह श्लोक सिखाता है कि सच्ची समझ और सहानुभूति समान अनुभव से ही जन्म लेती है।

उत्पत्ति और कथा

Sanskrit Subhashita (niti tradition) · Anonymous (traditional subhashita) · Classical Sanskrit literature

This verse belongs to the rich body of subhashitas that celebrate learning and the appreciation of merit. Using the powerful and universal comparison of childbirth, it makes the point that the value of a scholar's painstaking effort is fully grasped only by fellow scholars, a sentiment that has made it a favourite among the learned for centuries.

शास्त्रों में वर्णित

It is told that true scholars, recognising one another's labour through this verse, formed bonds of mutual respect that transcended rivalry, so that the community of the learned was held together by the very empathy the shloka describes.

विद्वानेव विजानाति विद्वज्जनपरिश्रमम्। हि वन्ध्या विजानाति गुर्वीं प्रसववेदनाम्॥

vidvān eva vijānāti vidvaj-jana-pariśramam। na hi vandhyā vijānāti gurvīṁ prasava-vedanām॥

अर्थ:विद्वान् ही दूसरे विद्वान् के परिश्रम को सच्चे रूप में जानता है, जैसे बाँझ स्त्री प्रसव की तीव्र वेदना को कभी नहीं जान सकती। यह श्लोक बताता है कि कठिन परिश्रम से अर्जित विद्या के मूल्य को केवल वही समझ सकता है जिसने स्वयं वही श्रम किया हो, क्योंकि सहानुभूति समान अनुभव से ही उत्पन्न होती है।
