देशांतरे ह्यस्ति धनः सद्विद्यः सुखमेधते । भयमस्ति धने चौरात्सविद्यः सर्वतोऽभयः
deśāṃtare hyasti dhanaḥ sadvidyaḥ sukhamedhate | bhayamasti dhane caurātsavidyaḥ sarvato'bhayaḥ
Sa ibang lupain maaaring may yaman, ngunit ang tunay na kaalaman ay masayang umuunlad. Sa yaman ay may takot sa magnanakaw; ang may karunungan ay walang takot saanman.
Skanda (narrating to Agastya, Kāśīkhaṇḍa frame)
Tirtha: Kāśī (as seat of vidyā and mokṣa)
Type: kshetra
Scene: A contrast tableau: on one side a wealthy man guarded and anxious; on the other a learned ascetic/brahmin calm and unafraid, walking freely.
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.
