ज्येष्ठत्वं जन्मना नैव ,
गुणै: ज्येष्ठत्वम् उच्यते ।
गुणात् गुरुत्वम् आयाति ,
दुग्धं दधि घृतं क्रमात् ।।
( चाणक्य नीति )
Greatness doesn't come by birth. Greatness is decided by the qualities of a person. As the heaviness gets increased from milk to curd and from curd to ghee.
महानता मनुष्य को मात्र जन्म लेने से नहीं मिलती है। महानता मनुष्य को उसके गुणों से प्राप्त होती है। जैसे दुग्ध से गुरूतर होकर क्रमश: दधि और पुन: दधि से घी बनता है ।
Thanks for explaining. I have been searching meaning of these lines all over the internet. Thanks
