Shloka 143
श्रुतवानसि मेधावी बुद्धिमान् प्राज्ञसम्मतः । न विग्रहे मम मतिर्न च प्रीये कुलक्षये
śrutavān asi medhāvī buddhimān prājña-sammataḥ | na vigrahe mama matir na ca prīye kula-kṣaye ||
তুমি শ্রুতবান, মেধাবী, বুদ্ধিমান আৰু প্ৰাজ্ঞসকলৰ মাজত মান্য। কিন্তু মোৰ মতি বিবাদৰ বাবে নহয়; আৰু কুলক্ষয়ত মোৰ কোনো প্ৰীতি নাই।
Educational Q&A
Even when one recognizes another’s learning and intelligence, one should not be driven toward hostility; the ethical priority is to avoid conflict and to prevent the ruin of the family line (kula-kṣaya), which implies social and moral breakdown.
A speaker addresses another person praised for learning and wisdom, but states a personal stance: the speaker’s intention is not to engage in strife and the speaker does not welcome outcomes that would destroy the family/lineage—signaling a preference for restraint and preservation over escalation.
