अपि मेरूपमं प्राज्ञमपि शूरमपि स्थिरम् |
तृणी करोति तृष्नैका निमिषेण नरोत्तमम् ||
Api meroopamam praagyamapi shooramapi sthiram.
Trunee karoti trushnaikaa nimishena narottamam.
Api = even. Meroopamam = Meru +upamam. Meru = the legendary mountain referred in the scriptures of Hindu religion, known for its majestic height. Upaman= simialar to.
Praagyamapi = praagya + api . Praagya = a wise and learned person. Shooramapi = shoor + api. Shoor = a warrior, a brave person. Sthiram =stable, firm, persevering. Truna = a blade of grass. Trunee =insignificant like a blade of grass. Karoti = makes. Trushnaikaa = very strong desire. Nimishena = 'Nimesh' is the measure of time in Sanskrit i.e. the time taken in blinking an eye lid. Narottamam = best of men.
i.e. Even wise and learned persons as great as the Meru mountain and warriors known for their perseverance and firmness, become insignificant like a blade of grass in no time, if they are obsessed with excessive desire ( for luxuries and riches, fame, power etc).
