पूर्वर्द्धिभिः परित्यक्तमात्मानं नावमानयेत् । सदोद्यमवतां यस्माच्छ्रियो विद्या न दुर्लभाः
pūrvarddhibhiḥ parityaktamātmānaṃ nāvamānayet | sadodyamavatāṃ yasmācchriyo vidyā na durlabhāḥ
পূৰ্বৰ সমৃদ্ধিয়ে যদিও ত্যাগ কৰে, তথাপি নিজক অৱমাননা নকৰিব। কিয়নো যিসকল সদা উদ্যোগী, তেওঁলোকৰ বাবে শ্ৰী (সমৃদ্ধি) আৰু বিদ্যা দুষ্প্ৰাপ্য নহয়।
