अपुत्रो लभते पुत्रान्धनार्थी धनमाप्नुयात् । बहुवैरोऽरिनाशं च विद्यार्थी शास्त्रविद्भवेत्
aputro labhate putrāndhanārthī dhanamāpnuyāt | bahuvairo'rināśaṃ ca vidyārthī śāstravidbhavet
بے اولاد کو بیٹے نصیب ہوتے ہیں؛ دولت کا طالب دولت پاتا ہے؛ جس کے بہت دشمن ہوں وہ دشمنوں کی ہلاکت پاتا ہے؛ اور طالبِ علم شاستروں کا عالم بن جاتا ہے۔
