To day's Subhashit.

वनेऽपि सिंहा मृगमांस भक्षिणो बुभुक्षिता नैव तृणे चरन्ति |
एवं  कुलीना  व्यसनाभिभूता  न  नीचकर्माणि  समाचरन्ति    |

Vanepi simhaa mrugamaamsa bhakshino bubhukshitaa naiva trune charanti.
evam kuleenaa vyasanaanibhootaa na neechkarmaani samaacharanti.

Vanepi = Vane + api.    Vane = forest.   Api|= also, even.     Simhaa = lions.   Mruga =deer,
Maams = flesh, meat.     Bhakshino =  eater.    Bubhukshitaa = starving, hungry.   Naiva = not.
Trune = blades of grass     Charanti = grazing, eating.     Evam =  so also.    Kuleenaa = noble and aristocratic persons.      Vyasanaabhibhoota = Vyasanani + abhibhoota,     Vyasana = addiction to any thing.
Abhibhoota = overcome by.     Na = not.   Neechkarmaani = low grade occupation or action.
Samaacharanti = perform, do.

i.e.         In a forest lions subsist by preying on deers and eating their flesh, but even if they are hungry or may be starving, they will never eat grass to satiate their hunger.   So also noble and aristocratic persons, do not indulge in low grade activities even if they face hardships due to their addiction to high standard of living.
