To day's Subhashit.

अकृत्यं नैव कर्तव्यं प्राणत्यागेSपि संस्थिते
न च कृत्यं परित्याज्यं एष धर्मः सनातनः

Akrutyam naiv kartavyam prantyaagepi sansthite,
Na cha krutym prityaajyam esh dharmah sanaatanah.

i.e.   Even while facing grave danger to his life, one should not indulge in doing wrongful deeds. On the other hand one should never refrain from performing rightful  deeds, as this is the 'Dharma' being followed since time immemorial.

Akrutyam = an action which is not right or just. (By adding the prefix 'a' before a word in Sanskrit ,the opposite meaning of the word is denoted as is done by 'un' and 'in' English)
Krutya = an action, doing a job.        Kartavyam = duty, doing something.
Praantyaag = the process of dying.               Api = even           Sansthithe = happening, facing.
Parityaajya = abandon , refrain,give up.         Eash = this is.         Dharma = religion.
Sanatanah = from time immemorial.  (The Hindu Religion is also called 'Sanaatn Dharma". Here it denotes rightful duties and actions beneficial to mankind ordained by the Religion.)
