To day's Subhashit.

व्यसने मित्र परीक्षा शूर परीक्षा रणाङ्गणे भवति
विनये भृत्य परीक्षा  दान परीक्षा च दुर्भिक्षे I

Vyasane mitra pareekshaa shoor pareekshaa ranaangne bhawati
vinaye bhrutya pareekshaa daan pareekshaa cha durbhikshe

The real test of a friend is during a calamity, that of a warrior at the battle field, a servant's test by his obedience and a rich person's willingness for charity is during a famine.

Vyasana = In Sanskrit language this word conveys a wide range of meanings namely a calamity,habitually indulging in undesirable acts such as gambling,prostitution, alcoholism and using foul language. Here the appropriate usage will be a situation fraught with grave danger like a calamity.
Mitra = friend.        Pareekshaa = test.           Shoor =  a warrior.
Ranaangana =battle field.                Bhawati = happens, occurs.         Vinaya = obedience.
Daan = help rendered to poor and needy persons in cash or kind.
Durbhiksha = a famine, extreme shortage especially of food items.
