To day's Subhashit.

उदारस्य तृणं वित्तं शूरस्य मरणं तृणं
विरक्तस्य तृणं भार्या निस्पृहस्य तृणं जगत् ;

Udaarasya trunam vittam shoorasya maranam trunam
Viraktasya trunam bhaaryaa nispruhasya trunam jagat.

i.e.   For a generous person money or wealth is insignificant (like a blade of grass), for a  warrior the prospect of facing death is immaterial.  Likewise , a person unattached to family life has no interest in his wife, and for a person having no desires this living Earth is immaterial.

Udaar = a generous person.      Shoorasya =  a warrior, a brave person.
Truna = a blade of grass.  (Here, the short form of the word 'trunawat' -तृणवत्- has been used, which means like a blade of grass i.e. insignificant,immaterial and having no value)
Maranam = death.       Virakta = a person unattached to family life.         Bhaaryaa = wife
Nispraha = a person having no desire.           Jagat = this living Earth, World.

  1. Third Charan may be replaced by .. viraktasya trinam kaamam... because virakt can be he or she, everyone.
