To day's Subhashit.

उपार्जितानां वित्तानां त्याग एव हि रक्षणम्
तडागोदर संस्थानां परिवाह् इवाम्भसाम्

Upaarjitaanam vittaanaam tyaag eva hi rakshnam,
Tadaagodar sansthaanam pariwaah ivambhasaam.

i.e.     The only rightful way of protecting (proper utilisation) of money is by further sharing it with others like the water stored in a deep lake coming out of it through a canal ( to irrigate parched land and and provide water to the community at large).

Upaarjitaanaam =  erarned.         Vittaanaam =  money, wealth
Tyaag = to give up             Eva hi = is the only.           Rakshnam =  protection, proper utilisation.
Tadag = lake.    Udar = belly.      Tadagodar = in the depth of a lake.
Sansthaanaam = existing at          Pariwah = a canal,       Ambhasam = water.       Iva = similar to
Pariwaah ivambhusam = like water flowing through a canal.

(There is a saying that water and money should always remain in circulation. If this is not done the water stagnates and hoarded money becomes useless .Through the process of flowing and circulation water and money remain pure and beneficial to the society at large. This phenomena can be seen in  black money amounting to trillions of Rupees stored in Swiss Banks and other Tax havens by Indians. Had that money been earned through legal and honest means and utilised for the economic development of our Country it would have removed poverty, malnutrition and other economic ills plaguing our Country. See how Bhakraa  and Nangal , Hirakud and many other Dams constructed during the initial years of Country's Independence have changed the face of Punjab , Rajasthan and Orissa. It is just like the analogy mentioned in the above Subhashit of a canal emerging from the depth of a big lake irrigating parched land and providing water to the people downstream.  Such was the vision of our Sanskrit Scholars, highlighing the above Truth in shortest possible words.
