GROUP OF THREE- PART 2

SUBHASHITHANI:342

विद्यामदो धनमदस्तृतीयोऽभिजनो मदः ।
एते मदावलिप्तानामेत एव सतां दमाः ॥ ४२॥Vidura niti

Vidhya mado dhana mado thruteeyo abhijano madah I
Ete madaavaliptaanaaeta eva sataam damaah  II

Pride of learning, pride of wealth, the pride of family, these three are intoxications for the haughty, while these three make the virtuous humble and self-controlled.

श्रीमानजननिंद्यश्च शूरश्चाप्यविकत्थन : ।
समद्दष्टिः प्रभुश्चैव दुर्लभाः पुरुषास्त्रयः ॥

Srimaana jananindhyascha shooraschaapya vikatthanah I
Sama drishtih prabhuschaiva durlabhaah purushaastryah II

These three type of men are rare to find: A wealthy man who is not culpable, a valiant man who is not boisterous, and a leader who is unbiased.

असूयैक पदं मृत्युरतिवादः श्रियो वधः ।
अशुश्रूषा त्वरा श्लाघा विद्यायाः शत्रवस्त्रयः ॥ Vidura niti

Asooyaika padam mrutu ativaadah shriyo vadhah I
Ashrooshaa tvaraa shlaagyaa vidhyaayaah shatravas trayah II8.4

Envy tantamount to death. Harsh abusive language is the death-knell to prosperity. Want of attention to the preceptor ,haste and boastfulness are the three enemies of learning.

त्रय एवाधना राजन्भार्या दासस्तथा सुतः ।
यत्ते समधिगच्छन्ति यस्य ते तस्य तद्धनम् ॥ ५७॥

These three, O king, are not entitled to their own wealth, viz., the wife, the employee, and the son, and whatever may be earned by them would belong to the one who supports them.

अनृतं च समुत्कर्षे राजगामि च पैशुनम् ।
गुरोश्चालीकनिर्बन्धः समानि ब्रह्महत्यया ॥Mahabharatham

anṛtaṃ ca samutkarṣe rājagāmi ca paiśunam | 
guroścālīkanirbandhaḥ samāni brahmahatyayā || 11.55 ||

Lying for self-aggrandisement, caluminating before the king, and falsely harassing the Preceptor , these three are equal to killing  a vedic scholar—(55)

वार्ता च कौतुकवती विमला च विद्या
    लोकोत्तरः परिमलश्च कुरङ्गनाभेः |
तैलस्य बिन्दुरिव वारिणि दुर्निवारं
    एतत्त्रयं प्रसरति स्वयमेव भूमौ ||

Sensational news, pure education (knowledge) and the smell of the musk deer's secretion - these three will spread all around the world without any help from others. Much like a drop of oil on th surface of water.

अपूज्या यत्र पूज्यन्ते पूज्यानां तु विमानना ।
त्रीणि तत्र प्रवर्तन्ते दुर्भिक्षं मरणं भयम् ॥

apūjyā yatra pūjyante pūjyānāṃ tu vimānanā |
trīṇi tatra pravartante durbhikṣaṃ maraṇaṃ bhayam ||

Where the unworthy are respected and the worthy are disrespected, one of three consequences is certain – famine, fear or death. 

ऋणैस्‍त्रिभिर्द्विजो जातो देवर्षिपितृणां प्रभो ।
यज्ञाध्ययनपुत्रैस्तान्यनिस्तीर्य त्यजन् पतेत् ॥ SB 10.84.39

ṛṇais tribhir dvijo jāto devarṣi-pitṝṇāṁ prabho I
yajñādhyayana-putrais tāny anistīrya tyajan patet II

A  member of the twice-born classes is born with three kinds of debts — those owed to the demigods, to the sages and to his forefathers. If he leaves his body without first liquidating these debts by performing sacrifice, studying the scriptures and begetting children, he will fall down into a hellish condition.

सुश्रान्तोपि वहेद्भारं, शीतोष्णं न च पश्यति।
संन्तुष्टश्चरते नित्यं, त्रीणि शिक्षेच्च गर्दभात् ॥ Chanakya niti

He carries load without rest, is not deterred by the heat or cold, is always contented; These three things must be learnt from the donkey.

सन्तोषस्त्रिषु  कर्तव्यः  स्वदारे  भोजने  धने  |
त्रिषु  चैव  न  कर्तव्योSध्ययने  जपदानयोः    ||

Santoshastrishu  kartavyah  sva-daare  bhojane  dhane.
Trishu chaiva na kartavyodhyayane  japa-daanayoh.

Three things one should be content with – one’s own wife, food and wealth. Three things one should not be content with – learning, japa (repetition of the names of the Lord) and charity (daana)

अगतित्वमतिश्रद्धा ज्ञानाभासेन तृप्तता
त्रय: शिष्यगुणाह्येते  मुर्खाचार्यस्य भाग्यजा:    

Bad teachers also get students due to the following three reasons: 1.He (The student ) has no other go except accepting him as teacher as no one else is available in and around, 2.Over politeness, 3. He is satisfied with the half-baked knowledge he possesses.
