Chanakya Niti · Chapter 4
Chanakya Niti 4.1 meaning
ayuh karma cha vittam cha vidya nidhanam eva cha
pancha-itani hi srijyante garbhasthasya-iva dehinah
आयुः कर्म च वित्तं च विद्या निधनमेव च ।
पञ्चैतानि हि सृज्यन्ते गर्भस्थस्यैव देहिनः ॥
Five things are already set for a being while still in the womb: lifespan, actions, wealth, learning, and death.
What it means
Some parts of life are beyond our control. Accepting this frees us from needless worry, so we can focus fully on how we live within what we have been given.हिंदी में अर्थ
पाँच बातें गर्भ में ही तय हो जाती हैं: आयु, कर्म, धन, विद्या और मृत्यु।
जीवन की कुछ बातें हमारे बस में नहीं होतीं। इसे स्वीकार करने से बेकार की चिंता छूटती है, और हम पूरी तरह इस पर ध्यान दे पाते हैं कि जो मिला है उसमें कैसे जिएँ।
