कोऽर्थः पुत्रेण जातेन यो न कृत्यैः सुशंसितैः । प्राकट्यं याति सर्वत्र वंशस्याग्रे ध्वजो यथा
ko'rthaḥ putreṇa jātena yo na kṛtyaiḥ suśaṃsitaiḥ | prākaṭyaṃ yāti sarvatra vaṃśasyāgre dhvajo yathā
जो पुत्र प्रशंसनीय कृत्यांनी सर्वत्र कीर्ती मिळवत नाही, असा पुत्र जन्मला तरी काय उपयोग—जसा वंशाच्या अग्रभागी उभारलेला ध्वज।
Andhaka (contextual continuation)
Scene: Andhaka uses a vivid simile: a lineage banner at the front—depict a procession with a tall dhvaja bearing clan emblem, while a speaker points to it as an example of renown earned by deeds.
Human birth and family role gain meaning through laudable action; dharma is proven by conduct that uplifts one’s community and tradition.
