To day's Subhashit.

एकं विष रसं हन्ति शस्त्रेणेकश्च बध्यते ,
सराष्ट्रं सप्रजं हन्ति राजानां मन्त्र विप्लवः

Ekam vishrasam hanti shashtrainaikashch badhyate'
Sarashtram saprajam hanti raajaanaam mantra viplawahh.

i.e.    Only one person gets killed by consuming a poison, and a weapon also kills one person at a time.  But a wrong decision taken by a Ruler (king) without heeding the expert advice of his councillors results in widespread destruction of the Kingdom and death to millions of its citizens.

(There is a glaring example of this prophesy in the decision taken by Pt. J.L.Nehru of Congress and by M.A.Jinnah of Muslim League, which resulted in the partition of our Country and death of millions of its citizens and later on the Kashmir issue, which, after even 65 years is like a bleeding soar and is still taking a heavy toll of human lives and causing immense hardships to the Nation. Many more such  examples can be found in other parts of the World.)

Vish Rasam = liquid poison.       Hanti = strikes, kills .         Shashtra = weapon.        Eak = one.
Badhyate = kills.            Sarashtram = one's own Country.         Saprajam = one's own people.
sa= onw;s own.    Prajam = inhabitants, citizens.       Rajaanaam =  Kings,  Rulers of a country.
Mantra = a decision taken unilaterally.         Viplavwah =  strife, fighting.
Mantra viplawah =  strife and disorder created by wrong decision.
