SUBHASHITHANI:669
कुभोजने दिनं नष्टं कुनार्या यौवनं हतम् ।
कुपुत्रेण कुलं नष्टं धनं नष्टं न दीयते ॥
A family is ruined by a bad son, youth will be lost due to a bad woman, a bad food spoils the whole day, wealth gets destroyed by not being generous to others.
कुपुत्रेण कुलं नष्टं धनं नष्टं न दीयते ॥
A family is ruined by a bad son, youth will be lost due to a bad woman, a bad food spoils the whole day, wealth gets destroyed by not being generous to others.
The following two slokas are from Devi Bhagavatham
and should be read together:
कुपुत्रेण कुलं नष्टं कुपुत्रेण हतं यशः।
कुपुत्रेण चामुत्र दुःखं निरययातनाः।।16
A family loses its fame and is ruined by a bad son;
an unworthy son ruins future life and causes pain of suffering in hell.
कुपुत्रेणान्वयो नष्टो जन्म नष्टं कुभार्यया।
कुभोजनेन दिवसः कुमित्रेण सुखं कुतः।।17
Family connections are spoilt by a bad son and life itself is lost by a
bad wife. Bad food spoils the day, how ca there be happiness with a untrustworthy
friend.
कुपुत्रेण चामुत्र दुःखं निरययातनाः।।16
कुपुत्रेणान्वयो नष्टो जन्म नष्टं कुभार्यया।
कुभोजनेन दिवसः कुमित्रेण सुखं कुतः।।17
यस्यास्ति वित्तं स नरः कुलीनः
स पण्डितः स श्रुतवान् गुणज्ञः ।
स एव वक्ता स च दर्शनीयः
सर्वे गुणाः काञ्चनमाश्रयन्ति ।। नीतिशतक
He who has money is of higher caste, he is a scholar, he is the knowledge of scriptures, he is the ability to judge others, he is the best speaker, his personality is effective.
स पण्डितः स श्रुतवान् गुणज्ञः ।
स एव वक्ता स च दर्शनीयः
He who has money is of higher caste, he is a scholar, he is the knowledge of scriptures, he is the ability to judge others, he is the best speaker, his personality is effective.
सत्येन रक्ष्यते धर्मो विद्या योगेन रक्ष्यते।
मृजया रक्ष्यते रूपं कुलं वृत्तेन रक्ष्यते॥ विदुरनीति
Morality is maintained by truth, knowledge is retained by practice, appearance becomes attractive by cleanliness and the prestige of the clan is maintained by virtuous conduct.
मृजया रक्ष्यते रूपं कुलं वृत्तेन रक्ष्यते॥ विदुरनीति
Morality is maintained by truth, knowledge is retained by practice, appearance becomes attractive by cleanliness and the prestige of the clan is maintained by virtuous conduct.
न कुलं वृत्तहीनस्य प्रमाणमिति में मतिः ।
अन्तेष्वपि हि जातानां वृतमेव विशिष्यते ॥
Na kulam vrittahinasya pramanamithi mein matih.
Anteshvapi hi jaatanaam vritmev vishishyate ॥
A person cannot be identified by his high or low caste. A man is recognized by his good conduct, even if he is born in a low caste.
अन्तेष्वपि हि जातानां वृतमेव विशिष्यते ॥
Na kulam vrittahinasya pramanamithi mein matih.
Anteshvapi hi jaatanaam vritmev vishishyate ॥
A person cannot be identified by his high or low caste. A man is recognized by his good conduct, even if he is born in a low caste.
एकेन शुष्कवृक्षेण दह्यमानेन वह्निना ।
दह्यते तद्वनं सर्वं दुष्पुत्रेण कुलं यथा ॥
Ekena shshkavrukshena dahyamaanena vahninaa
Dahyate tadvanam sarvam dushputrena kulam yathaa.
Even if a single dried up tree in a forest catches fire, it destroys the entire forest by the fire spreading out, just like a bad and unworthy son destroys by his actions and behaviour the credibility and fame of a family to which he belongs.

प्रदोषे दीपकश्चन्द्रः प्रभाते दीपको रविः
त्रैलोक्ये दीपको धर्मः सुपुत्रः कुलदीपकः II
Pradoshe deepakashchandrah prabhate deepako Ravih,
trailokye deepako Dharmah suputrah kuladeepakah.
In the evening the Moon brightens the sky and in the morning the Sun does it. Similarly the World is brightened by 'Dharma' and so also an illustrious and honorable son brings name and fame to his family like a lamp
