देशांतरे ह्यस्ति धनः सद्विद्यः सुखमेधते । भयमस्ति धने चौरात्सविद्यः सर्वतोऽभयः
deśāṃtare hyasti dhanaḥ sadvidyaḥ sukhamedhate | bhayamasti dhane caurātsavidyaḥ sarvato'bhayaḥ

Tirtha: Kāśī (as seat of vidyā and mokṣa)
Type: kshetra

Knowledge is a higher, safer wealth than money; it grants stability and fearlessness across places and circumstances.
No specific tīrtha is named; the verse offers universal nīti within the Kāśīkhaṇḍa setting.
None.
