समयोचितपद्यमालिका - चिंता

मात्रा समं नास्ति शरीरपोषणं
    विद्यासमं नास्ति शरीर भूषणम् ।
भार्यासमं नास्ति शरीरतोषणं
    चिंतासमं नास्ति शरीरशोषणम् ॥

Nobody/nothing nourishes the body like mother. Nothing decorates the body better than education/knowledge. Nothing satiates the body like the wife. Nothing troubles the body more than worry.
