1. संस्कृतम् (देवनागरी)
अयं निजः परो वेति गणना लघुचेतसाम्। उदारचरितानां तु वसुधैव कुटुम्बकम्॥
2. বাংলা / Bengali Script
অযং নিজঃ পরো বেতি গণনা লঘুচেতসাম্। উদারচরিতানাং তু বসুধৈব কুটুম্বকম্॥
3. IAST (Transliteration)
ayaṃ nijaḥ paro veti gaṇanā laghucetasām | udāracaritānāṃ tu vasudhaiva kuṭumbakam ||
4. English Meaning / आङ्ग्लार्थः
"This one is mine, and that one belongs to another"—such calculation is the mark of narrow-minded people. For those of noble character, the entire earth is but one family.
5. বাংলা অর্থ / Bengali Meaning
"এ আমার নিজের লোক এবং ও পর"—এইরূপ সংকীর্ণ চিন্তাভাবনা ক্ষুদ্র মনের অধিকারীদের। কিন্তু যাঁদের চরিত্র উদার, তাঁদের কাছে সমগ্র পৃথিবীটাই একটিমাত্র পরিবারের সমতুল্য।
6. हिन्दी अर्थ / Hindi Meaning
"यह अपना है और यह पराया है"—ऐसी सोच छोटे मन वाले लोगों की होती है। उदार चरित्र वाले व्यक्तियों के लिए तो पूरी पृथ्वी ही एक परिवार के समान है।
7. संस्कृतभावार्थः
"एषः जनः मदीयः, सः च परकीयः" इति क्षुद्रबुद्धियुक्तानां जनानां विचारः भवति। परन्तु येषां जनानां हृदयं चरित्रं च उदारं भवति, तेषां कृते सम्पूर्णा पृथ्वी एव निजपरिवारतुल्या अस्ति।
8. अन्वयः (Compound Analysis)
अयं निजः परः वेति गणना लघुचेतसाम्। उदारचरितानां तु वसुधैव कुटुम्बकम्।
