SCHOLAR- WISE MAN -VIDVAAN- विद्वान्

SUBHASHITHANI:205
विद्वान्नैव विजानाति विद्वज्जनपरिश्रमम् |

न हि वन्ध्या विजानाति गुर्वीं प्रसववेदनाम् ||
Vidvaan eva vijaanaati vidvat jana parishramam I
Na hi vandhyaa vijaanaati gurvi prasava vedanam II
Only a learned person can understand the hardship borne by another learned person to earn knowledge just as a barren woman cannot understand the severe pain endured by a pregnant woman.

अपां प्रवाहो गाङ्गोऽपि समुद्रं प्राप्य तद्रसः।
भवत्यवश्यं तद्विद्वान्नाश्रयेदशुभात्मकम्॥
apāṁ pravāho gāṅgo’pi samudraṁ prāpya tadrasaḥ|
bhavatyavaśyaṁ tadvidvānnāśrayed aśubhātmakam||
A stream of tasteful water (even arising from the Ganges?), having flown into the sea, becomes saline and thus undrinkable.  For this simple reason, a wise man should never associate with one of wicked and impure soul.

स्वगृहे पूज्यते मूर्खः स्वग्रामे पूज्यते प्रभुः I

 स्वदेशे पूज्यते राजा विद्वान् सर्वत्र पूज्यते ॥

Svagruhe poojyate moorkhah, svagraame poojyate prabhuh I

Svadese poojyate raajaa vidvaan sarvatra poojyate

A fool is honoured in his own house, a landlord is honoured in his own village, a king is honoured in his own country and a scholar is honoured everywhere.

गन्धः सुवर्णे फलमिक्षुदण्डे
नाकारि पुष्पं खलु चन्दनेषु ।
विद्वान् धनाढ्यो न तु दीर्घजीवी
धातुः पुरा कोऽपि न बुद्धिदोऽभूत ॥

Gandhah  suvarne  phalamikshudande .
                 Naakari  pushpam  khalu  chandanasya.
Vidvaandhanaadhyashcha  Nrupashchiraayuh.
                  Dhaatuh  puraa  kopi  na  buddhidobhoot.

Fragrance in gold; fruit in sugarcane; big flowers too in sandalwood; an educated who is rich; a king who lives forever - (alas!) there were no counsellors for the creator earlier!

विद्वानेवोपदेष्टव्यो नाविद्वांस्तु कदाचन ।
वानरानुपदिश्याथ स्थानभ्रष्टा ययुः खगाः ॥ Pancha tantra

Vidvaanevopadeshtavyo naavidvaamstu kadaachana I

Vaanaraanupadisyaatha sthaana bhrashtaa yayuh khagaah II

Advice should be offered only  to the wise and not to fools. Advising the monkeys the birds were forced to leave their place.

मात्रा स्वस्रा  दुहित्रा वा न विविक्तासनो  भवेत्  |
बलवन्निन्द्रियग्रामा  विद्वांसमपि  कर्षति       || मनुस्मृति

Maatraa svasraa  duhitraa vaa na viviktaasano bhavet I
Balavaanindriyagraamo vidvaamsamapi karshati. II

One must not sit alone with mother, sister or daughter. The sense organs are very strong and can derail the thoughts of even a wise man.

सत्यं तपो ज्ञानमहिंसता च   विद्वत्प्रणामं च सुशीलता च । 

एतानि यो धारयति स विद्वान्  न केवलं यः पठते स विद्वान् ॥
Only those who possess these qualities can be called a wise man ( Vidvaan ):Truth, austerities, knowledge, non-violence, respecting other wise men, and a spot-less behaviour. Not one who is merely well read.

विद्वान्प्रशस्यते  लोके  विद्वान्  सर्वत्र  पूज्यते  |
विद्यया  लभते  सर्वं  विद्या सर्वत्र  पूज्यते      ||  चाणक्य नीति 
Vidvaan-prashasyate  loke  vidvaan  sarvatra  poojyate. 
Vidyayaa  labhate  sarvam  vidyaa  sarvatra  poojyate.
 In the social life a knowledgeable and learned person is praised and venerated every where.  Through the acquired skill and knowledge all types of things can be obtained and for this very reason knowledge and learning are venerated every where
वेदाहमेतं पुरु'षं महान्तम्'' | आदित्यव'र्णं तम'सः पर'स्तात् |
तमेवं विद्वानमृत' इह भ'वति | नान्यः पन्था' विद्यतेऽय'नाय || Purusha suktam
vedahametam purusham mahantam  adityavarnam tamasah parastat I 
tamevam vidvan amrita iha bhavati  nanyah pantha vidyate'yanaya (20)"
I have known that great Purusha (Supreme Being) who is brilliant like the sun and who is beyond all darkness. One who knows Him thus becomes immortal (even) here. There is no other path for liberation than this"

अविद्वानपि भूपालो विद्यावृद्धोपिसेवया |
पराश्रियमवाप्नोति जलासन्नतरुर्यथा ||  
avidvaanapi bhoopaalo vidyaavruddhopisevayaa |
paraashriyamavaapnoti jalaasannataruryathaa ||
A king or a ruler of a country may not be very learned, but if he remains associated with highly educated persons and is devoted to them, he gets all the  glory and prosperity through such association just like a tree grown besides a water body gets all the nourishment and grows nicely.

मूर्खशिष्योपदेशेन दुष्टास्त्रीभरणेन च।
दुःखितैः सम्प्रयोगेण पण्डितोऽप्यवसीदति॥
Even a pandit comes to grief by giving instruction to a foolish disciple, by maintaining a wicked wife, and by excessive familiarity with the miserable.
तास्तु वाचः सभायोग्या याश्चित्ताSSकर्षणक्षमा  | 
स्वेषां परेषां  विदुषां  द्विशामविदुषामपि ||
Taastu vaachah sbhaa-yogyaa yaashchittakarshanakshamaa. I 
Sveshaam pareshaam  vidushaam dvishaamavidushaamapi. II
Only those persons are competent to participate in an assembly of people, who, by their oratory, are capable of captivating the hearts of not only the learned persons and their associates, but also the people who are hostile towards them, as also neutral person
न बुद्धि भेदं जनयेत अज्ञानां कर्म संगिनां ।
जोष्येत सर्व कर्माणि विद्वान युक्तः समाचरन  ।। BG 3.26
Na buddhi bhedam janayet agyanam karma sanginam I
Joshyet sarva karmani vidvan yuktah samacharan II 
Let not the wise man unsettle the mind of the ignorant people attached to karma. By doing persistently and precisely let the wise induce the others in all activities.
