GOOD FORTUNE-BHAGYAANI-भाग्यानि ( भाग्यवान् )

SUBHASHITHANI:177
सुशीलो  मातृ  पुण्येन  पितृ  पुण्येन  चातुरः |

औदार्यं वंश पुण्येन आत्मा पुण्येन भाग्यवान्  ||
Sushilo maatru punyena pitru punyena chaaturah.
Audaaryam vamsha punyena aatma punyena bhaagyavaan.

A person inherits good character from his mother, skill and dexterity from father, generosity from family , good fortune from his own merits (punya).  

भाग्यवान् जायतां पुत्रः मा शूरः मा च पण्डितः I

शुरास्च कृत विध्यास्च रणे सीदन्ति मत्सुताः II

Bhagyavaan jaayataam putrah maa shurah maa cha panditah I

Shuraascha kruta vidyaascha rane seedanti matsutaah II Kunti devi in Mahabharata

May you get a son who is blessed with good fortune , rather than a brave or  a scholar. My children who were brave and well trained in shaastras , are  suffering in the battle field.

समुद्रमथने लेभे हरिर् लक्ष्मीं हरो विषं I

भाग्यं फलति सर्वत्र न विध्या न च पौरुषं II

Samudra methane lebhe harir lakshmeem haro visham I

Bhagyam phalati sarvatra na vidhyaa na cha paurusham II

During the churning of the milky ocean , Hari got Sri Maha Lakshmi , siva (Hara) got haalahaala visham (poison ).It is one’s good fortune that gives the fruit and not vidhyaa or bravery.

मज्जत्वम्भसि यातु मेरुशिखरं शत्रुं जयत्वाहवे

वाणिज्यं कृषिसेवने च सकला विद्याः कलाः शिक्षतां ।

आकाशं विपुलं प्रयातु खगवत्कृत्वा प्रयत्नं परं

नाभाव्यं भवतीह कर्मवशतो भाव्यस्य नाशः कुतः । । १०१ । ।Niti satakam

majjatv ambhasi yaatu meeru s`ikharam s`atruh jayatv aahave

vaan`ijyam krushi seevanee ca sakalaa vidyaam kalaam s`ikshataam

aakaas`a vipulam prayaatu khagavat krutvaa prayatam param

na abhaavyam bhavatiiha karma vas`ato bhaavyasya naas`am kutaha

Whether one drowns in water,or ascends the peak of Meru; whether he conquers his enemies in battle or take to business, agriculture or service; he may learn all the arts and crafts; he may even with a lot of endeavour fly in the sky and he do anything he likes; but what is not destined will not happen and whatever is fated will definitely occur- it is inevitable.

भाग्योदयेन बहुजन्मसमार्जितेन
    सत्संगमं च लभते पुरुषो यदा वै ।
अज्ञानहेतुकृतमोहमदांधकार
    नाशं विधाय हि तदोदयते विवेकः ॥

When one accumulates a lot of good karma over lot of births, he becomes  fortunate to be in association with  virtuous people. With such association, he can learn to defeat the darkness called - attachment and pride. Once the darkness of ‘ignorance’ is removed, the path to wisdom (viveka) is illuminated.

राजवत् पुत्र दाराश्च स्वामिवन् मित्रबान्धवाः I

आचार्यवत् सभा मध्ये भाग्यवन्तं स्तुवन्ति हि II

Raajavat putra daaraascha svamivan mitrabaandhavaah I

Aachaaryavat sabhha madhye bhagyavantam stuvanti hi II

One who is fortunate ( prosperous ) will have the benefit of his wife and children treating him like a king; friends and relatives treating  him like a boss; and being treated like a teacher in a large assembly.

नैवाकृतिः फलति नैव कुलं न शीलं

विद्यापि नैव न च यत्नकृतापि सेवा ।

भाग्यानि पूर्वतपसा खलु सञ्चितानि

काले फलन्ति पुरुषस्य यथैव वृक्षाः ॥ Neeti satakam

It is not the looks, heritage, character, education or service done with effort, but the good fortune accumulated due to previous penance which gives timely results like trees.

प्रीणाति यः सुचरितैः पितरं स पुत्रो
यद्भर्तुरेव हितं इच्छति तत्कलत्रं ।
तन्मित्रं आपदि सुखे च समक्रियं यद्
एतत्त्रयं जगति पुण्यकृतो लभन्ते । । ६८ । ।

He is a son who pleases his father with good actions; that is a wife who wishes unmixed good to her husband; that is a friend who acts the same in adversity as in happy times. The meritorious (alone) secure this triad in this world.

Good actions done in a former life protect a man in a forest, on a battlefield, in the midst of foes, water and fire, in the vast ocean, or on a mountain-top, whether asleep or careless, or beset with any difficulty.
