Shubh Akshay Tritiya! Akshay Trithiya Shloka & Images


Akshaya Tritiya or also known as Akha Teej or Akti is considered to be the most auspicious period. The meaning is ‘third day of unending prosperity’. In recent times, the common notion in India is to purchase gold or property or start new things like a marriage, well this is true. But one important aspect of Akshaya Tritiya is also to donate, to give back, do charity. It is said that the charity done on Akshaya Tritiya remains ‘Akshaya’, imperishable and eternal.

So instead of making a purchase today let us donate to the ones who need it the most. This Shloka depicts the importance of Dana (donation) in society.

गौरवं प्राप्यते दानात न तु वित्तस्य संचयात् ।
स्थितिः उच्चैः पयोदानां पयोधीनाम अधः स्थितिः ॥

gauravaṃ prāpyate dānāta na tu vittasya saṃcayāt ।
sthitiḥ uccaiḥ payodānāṃ payodhīnāma adhaḥ sthitiḥ ॥

 Hindi translation:
वित्त के संचय से नहीं अपितु दान से गौरव प्राप्त होता है।
जल देनेवाले बादलों का स्थान उच्च है, जब की जल का संचय करने वाले सागर का स्थान नीचे है।

 English translation:
Dignity is obtained by donating, not by accumulating wealth. The clouds who give away water stand high, whereas the sea who just gathers it stays low.
