Three Jewels on the Earth


पृथ्वीव्यां त्रीणि रत्नानि,
जलम् अन्नं सुभाषितम् ।
मूढै: पाषाण खण्डेषु,
रत्नसंज्ञा प्रदीयते ।। 
(चाणक्य नीति)
There are three jewels on the Earth-Water, Food grains and Good sayings; but fools call the rock-pieces as Jewels.

इस पृथ्वी पर केवल तीन रत्न हैं - जल, अन्न और सुभाषित वचन; किन्तु मूर्ख पाषाण-खण्ड को 'रत्न' की संज्ञा देते हैं ।

  1. One of the very first subhashita that I learnt more than 30 years ago.
