Skanda Purana — Avanti Khanda, Shloka 128

Devanagari script

अपुत्रस्य गृहं शून्यं दिशः शून्या ह्यबान्धवाः । मूर्खस्य हृदयं शून्यं सर्वशून्यं दरिद्रता

Transliteration

aputrasya gṛhaṃ śūnyaṃ diśaḥ śūnyā hyabāndhavāḥ | mūrkhasya hṛdayaṃ śūnyaṃ sarvaśūnyaṃ daridratā

Translation

പുത്രനില്ലാത്തവന്റെ വീട് ശൂന്യം; ബന്ധുക്കളില്ലാത്തവന് ദിക്കുകളും ശൂന്യം. മൂഢന്റെ ഹൃദയം ശൂന്യം; ദാരിദ്ര്യം എന്നാൽ സർവ്വശൂന്യത തന്നെ.
