To day's Subhashit.

आत्मनः परितोषाय कवैः  काव्यं तथापि तत्
स्थापितो देहली दीप समं अन्योपकारकं  .

Aatmanah paritoshaaya kavaih kaavyam tathaapi tat;
sthaapito dehli deep samam anyopakaarakam.

i.e.     Although poets write poetry for their self satisfaction, it benefits the society as a whole, just like a bright lamp at the entrance of a house brightening all its surroundings (including the road where the house is situated.

Aatmanah = for oneself.       Paritoshaaya = satisfaction.       Kavaih = poets.          Kaavyam =  poetry.
Tathaapi =  although.            Tat = there, however.               Sthaapito = situated at.
Dehli = entrance of a house, a porch.             Deepam = a lamp.
Samam = equal to, like          deep samam = any device like a lamp which produces bright light.
Anyopakaarakam (anya +upkaarakam) . Anya = others.  Upkaarakam = beneficial .
