To day's Subhashit.

     Yesterday I had posted a Subhashit extolling the virtues of an ideal household. Here is another Subhashit which outlines the traits of a failed householder.

क्रोशन्तः शिशवः  सवारि सदनं पंकाSSवृतं   चाSङ्गणं
शय्या  दंशवती  च  रूक्ष्ममशनं  धूमेन  पूर्णः   गृहम्    |
भार्या निष्ठुरभाषिणी प्रभुरपि  क्रोधेन पूर्णा सदा
स्नानं शीतलवारिणा  हि सततं धिग्धिग्ग्रुहस्थाश्रमम्  ||

Krtoshantah shishawh savaari sadanam pamkaavrutam chaanganam.
Shayyaa danshvatee cha rookshmamashanm dhoomen poornh gruham.
Bhaaryaa nishthurbhaashanee prabhurapi krodhena poornh sadaa.
snaanam sheetalvaarinaa hi satatam dhigdhiggruhasthaashramam.

Kroshanth = crying.     Shishwah = children.    savaari = sa + waari.   Sa = with.   waari = water.  Sa-varri =with water.    Sadanam = residence, house.    Savaari sadanam = a house with a leaking. roof.  Pankaavrutam = Pank = mud, slush.   Aavrutam - covered with.  Aangnam = court yard.
Shayaa = bed (here it refers to bed room).   Danshwati = stinging i.e. infested with mosquitoes.
Rookshmmashanam =Rooksha + ashanam .  Rookshma= rough,  Ashanam = food.
Dhoomen = with smoke .      Poorna = full of    Gruham = house, residence.
Bharyaa = wife.    Nishthurbhaashini = ill speaking, rude.  Preabhurapi = Prabhu + api.
Prabhu = owner, master.    Api = too , also.     Krodhen = with anger.    Poornaa = full of. Sadaa = always.     Snaan = bathing.   sheetal = cold    vaarinaa = water.    Hi = with.   Satatam = always.
Dhigdhig = shame on.     Gruhasthaashramah = order of a household, family life.

i.e.     Shame on such a household,where children cry all the time, the roof of the house is leaking, the courtyard is full of mud and dust, the bedroom is infested with mosquitoes, food available is rough and without any flavour, the house is always full of smoke, the wife is rude and ill speaking and the owner of the house (husband) is always full of anger, and the members of the household are always compelled to take bath in cold water.
