POVERTY AND PANDITYAM

Poverty and PANdityam do not go hand in hand in most of the cases. There is a SubhAshitam which confirms this.

ParIkshya satkulam vidyA  SIlam Sauryam surUpatAm !
vidhirdadAti nipuNah kanyAmiva daridratAm !!

After testing thoroughly one's good lineage, education, conduct, strength and beauty, destiny gifts a scholar poverty as bride.

Thus we can see the life of great scholars from good family background troubled by poverty all the time.

Let there be LakshmI katAksham all around.
