Noble duties of Prosperous person - Sanskrit Teaching

in GEMS2 years ago

In the process of earning money, many people forget some basic responsibility. The basic duty are related towards the family as well as towards the social causes. They focus only on money things, however it is equally important for them to look after the other two moral duties.

In Sanskrit we have equivalent lines that highlights the same things.

चत्वारि ते तात गृहे वसन्तु, श्रियाभिजुष्टस्य गृहस्थधर्मे|

वृद्धो ज्ञातिरवसन्नः कुलीनः, सखा दरिद्रो भगिनी चानपत्या||

Chatvaari te taat gruhe vasantu
Shriyaabhijushasya gruhasthadharme.

Vruddho gyaatiravasannah kuleenah
Sakhaa daridro bhagini chaanapatyaa.

Chatvaari = four.
Te = these.
Taata = a term of affection for addressing a senior or junior person, father.
Gruhe = in the household.
Vasantu = should reside.
Shriyaabhijushasya = Shriya + abhijushtasya.
Shriya = prosperity.
Abhijushtasya = possessed of. Grusthadharme = householder's duty.
Vruddho = aged person.
gyaatiravasannah = Gyaatih + avasannah.
Gyaatih = a relative.
avasannah = distresssed.
Kuleena = noble
Sakhaa = a friend.
Daridro = poor.
Bhaginee = sister.
Chaanapatyaa = Cha + anapatyaa.
Anapatyaa = childless.

The lines means "It is the duty of a prosperous housholder that he should support these four types of persons, (i) an aged close relative (ii) a noble distressed person (iii) a poor friend and(iv) his childless sister."

A prosperous householder refers to those who have enough money to meet all the basic needs of life. These people should put more efforts towards the families and friends to make their life easier.
