Mahanu🚧 Draft — not final. This page was auto-generated as day-one scaffolding for the project and still needs a human pass before it reads as finished. The blanks and placeholders below are intentional — someone who runs this project should fill them in and delete this notice.
Subhashitas — collection
One entry per verse. A subhashita isn't "kept" until it has a translation that keeps its edge and a note on where it fits — the whole point is to have the right line ready for a real moment, not to archive Sanskrit.
The entry format (worked example)
On knowledge → character vidyā dadāti vinayaṁ, vinayād yāti pātratām… Translation: Knowledge gives humility; from humility comes worthiness; from worthiness, wealth; from wealth, right action; and from that, happiness. Theme: learning, character Where it proved true: (a real moment it fit — fill when it happens) ⭐ if it landed with the kids
(Verify the full Sanskrit and complete the verse from a trusted edition before treating it as final — the shelf's credibility is in getting the text right.)
