Hitopadesha (Subhashita) · Narayana Pandita (compiler of the Hitopadesha) · Classical Sanskrit literature (c. 9th–12th century CE)
The Hitopadesha is a collection of instructive animal fables in prose interspersed with verse, composed to teach princes wisdom and statecraft through delightful stories. This verse appears among its niti-shlokas, using the memorable image of a mirror useless to the blind to declare that scripture profits only the one already endowed with native intelligence.
✦ શાસ્ત્રોમાં કહ્યા પ્રમાણે
Teachers of old loved to quote this verse to awaken thinking in their pupils; it is said that a student who grasps its meaning stops studying merely to memorise and begins to study in order to understand, and so makes every book he reads truly his own.

યસ્ય નાસ્તિ સ્વયં પ્રજ્ઞા શાસ્ત્રં તસ્ય કરોતિ કિમ્। લોચનાભ્યાં વિહીનસ્ય દર્પણઃ કિં કરિષ્યતિ॥
yasya nāsti svayaṁ prajñā śāstraṁ tasya karoti kim। locanābhyāṁ vihīnasya darpaṇaḥ kiṁ kariṣyati॥
અર્થ:जिसके पास स्वयं की प्रज्ञा (बुद्धि) नहीं है, उसके लिए शास्त्र क्या कर सकता है? जैसे जो आँखों से रहित है, उसके लिए दर्पण क्या करेगा? यह श्लोक सिखाता है कि शास्त्र-ज्ञान तभी फलदायी होता है जब वह अपनी सहज बुद्धि और विवेक से युक्त हो।
