Chanakya Neeti 4 9
किं तया क्रियते धेन्वा या न दोग्ध्री न गर्भिणी । कोऽर्थः पुत्रेण जातेन यो न विद्वान् न भक्तिमान् ॥
kiṃ tayā kriyate dhenvā yā na dogdhrī na garbhiṇī | ko’rthaḥ putreṇa jātena yo na vidvān na bhaktimān ||
What good is a cow that neither gives milk nor conceives? Similarly, what is the value of the birth of a son if he becomes neither learned nor a pure devotee of the Lord?
English Translation
वह गाय किस काम की जो ना तो दूध देती है ना तो बच्चे को जन्म देती है. उसी प्रकार उस बच्चे का जन्म किस काम का जो ना ही विद्वान हुआ ना ही भगवान् का भक्त हुआ.
