pustakastha tu ya vidya parahasta gatam dhanam |
karyakale samutpanne na sa vidya na taddhanam ||

पुस्तकस्था तु  या  विद्या  परहस्त  गतं  धनं  |
कार्यकाले समुत्पन्ने  न सा विद्या न तद्धनम्  ||

With knowledge that’s in books and verses
And money that’s in others’ purses,
In times of need, when times are funny,
You’ve zero knowledge, zero money.

na choraharyam na cha rajyaharyam na bhratribhajyam na cha bharakari |
vyaye krite vardhata eva nityam vidya dhanam sarvadhanapradhanam ||

न चोरहार्यं न च राज्यहार्यं न भ्रातृभाज्यं न च भारकारी |
व्यये कृते वर्धत एव नित्यं विद्या धनं सर्वधनाप्रधानम् ||

It can’t be stolen by a thief
Nor plundered by a king or chief.
It can’t be divvied up by brothers
Or be burdensome for you and others.
The more we share, the more its measure.
Our knowledge is our greatest treasure.

akinchanye na moksho'sti kinchanye nasti bandhanam |
kinchanye chetare chaiva janturjnanena muchyate ||

आकिञ्चन्ये न मोक्षोऽस्ति किञ्चन्ये नास्ति बन्धनम् |
किञ्चन्ये चेतरे चैव जन्तुर्ज्ञानेन मुच्यते ||

A simple life of poverty
Is not a path to salvation.
A lavish life with property
Is not a path to damnation.
It’s neither wealth nor misery
It’s knowledge that will set you free.
