Shloka 11
दान-धर्म-आश्रमविधानम्
Dana, Dharma, and the Four Āśramas
यथा भाजनमच्छिद्रं नि:शब्दमिव लक्ष्यते । तच्चाम्भसा पूर्यमाणं सशब्दं कुरुतेडनिल:
yathā bhājanam acchidraṃ niḥśabdam iva lakṣyate | tac cāmbhasā pūryamāṇaṃ saśabdaṃ kurute 'nilāḥ ||
جیسے بے سوراخ برتن بے آواز سا دکھائی دیتا ہے؛ مگر جب اس میں سوراخ کر کے پانی بھرا جائے تو انیل (وایو) اسے صدادار بنا دیتا ہے۔
भरद्वाज उवाच
Educational Q&A
The verse teaches that apparent silence or stability can be disrupted when there is an opening—symbolically, a vulnerability or defect—through which external conditions enter; then subtle forces (like wind) can produce agitation and ‘noise.’
Bharadvāja illustrates his point with an example: an intact pot seems silent, but once pierced and filled with water, the wind interacting with it produces sound—an analogy used to explain how disturbance arises when conditions and vulnerabilities combine.
