आयुप्रश्ने  दीर्घमायुर्वाच्यं  मौहूर्तिकोर्द्विज:      |
जीवन्तो बहु मन्यन्ते मृताः प्रक्ष्यन्ति कं  पुनः  ||

Aayuprashne deerghamaayurvachyam mauhoortikordwijah.
Jeevanto bahub manyante mrutaah prakshyanti km punah.

Aayuprashne = aayu = age, duration of life.   Prashne = question.  Aayuprashne = question about the  duration (longivity) of one's life.    Deerghamaayurvachyam = Deergh + aayu+ vaachyam..
Deergh = long.    Vaachyam = to be spoken.     Mauhoortikordvijah =mauhoortika  + dvijah.
Mauhoortika = an astrologer.     Dvijah = a brahmin. (As per Hindu religion the society is divided into four main castes i.e. Brahmin, Kshareiya, Vaishya and Shoodra. The first three castes are also termed as 'Dwija'- twice born- after a Yagyopavit ceremony, just like baptism in Christianity)     Jeevanto = long lived.     Bahu = much.  Manyante =  will be honoured.      Mrutaah = the dead persons. Prakshyanti = ask for.     Km(कं) = happiness.      Punah = again and again.

i.e.        A Brahmin astrologer , on being being asked by a person about his life-span should always say to that person that he will be long lived.   If he really lives long,he will honour the astrologer very much, and even if he dies it will be immaterial, because dead persons do not come to enquire about their welfare again.

( Like the yesterday's Subhashita. this one also deals with human psychology about knowing one's own future and exploitation of this human weakness by astrologers and soothsayers.)

पुत्र इत्येव पितरि कन्यकेत्येव मातरि  |

गर्भप्रश्नेषु कथयन्  दैवज्ञो विजयी भवेत्  ||

Putra ityeva pitari kanyaketyeva maatari.

Garbhaprashneshu kasthayan daivagyo vijayee bhavet.

Kathayan = should say.    Daivagyo = a soothsayer, one who can, or pretend to tell the future.

Vijayee = winner, victorious.     Bhavet =  become.

i.e.      When questions are asked from a soothsayer about the sex of an unborn child in the womb of a woman, he should tell the would be father that a son will be born and to the would be mother he should say that a girl will be born, and win their appreciation.

(This Subhashita deals with the human psychology about knowing the sex of the unborn child and obsession for a male child among men and suggests the safest way to a soothsayer, while facing such questions.)

i.e.      A physician without the skill of diagnosis of ailments,  a shameless woman from a respectable family, a stupid sage, and a stranger (or intruder) in a troop,  all these four persons are really like a headache to the persons facing them.

i.e.      The Sun is the embellishment of the Sky, and so are the honey bees for a cluster of lotuses in a lake.   Speech gets embellished by speaking the truth and  wealth by being given in charity. The beauty of mind and heart is in friendship, and the spring season gets embellished by amorousness 

in the environment.  An assembly of learned persons gets embellished by eloquent speech and recitation of beautiful verse or poetry, and all the virtues by humility.

(With the departure of winter season and onset of the Spring season, the environment changes dramatically and all trees and plants blossom. There is festivity every where. In ancient India this season was celebrated with festivities known as Vasantotsava or Madanotsava dedicated to Madan or Manasij (the God of Love in Hindu mythology) This has been mentioned as "Madhusamaya" in the above Subhashita.)

(This subhashita has been composed in a lighter vein highlighting the tendency of a son- in law, stomach and wife never being satisified of whatever be provided to them and craving for more and more, so also is the case with fire and a lake i.e.whatever amount of wood and water we pour in a fire and lake respectively, it gets adjusted.)

Manasaam = persons.     Praayo = perhaps, almost.     Mati = intuition, judgement, intelligence.   Ksheeyate =deminishes, decays.    Vipattimoodha = a person confused by an imminent calamity.

(  Through this Subhashita the author has highlighted the fact that while facing imminent danger or calamity,what to say of ordinary persons even renowned  persons tend to lose their intuition and judgement on the face of imminent calamity and has cited three instances from the tales of Ramayana and Mahabharata of Hindu mythology.)

i.e.       It is better to keep the cow shed empty rather than keep a wicked and offensive bull.    It is also preferable to have a woman of ill repute as a wife  rather than have an immodest and shameless daughter-in-law.  Similarly,it is  better to live in a forest but not in a city ruled by an imprudent ruler, and it is better to face death rather than keep the company of vilest of persons.

(As regards association with vilest persons, there is a couplet by Goswami Tulsidas, the author of Ramayana - "बरु भल वास नरक कर ताता  दुष्ट संग  जनि देइ विधाता " (Baru bhal vaas narak kar taataa dushta sang jani deya vidhaataa) i.e. It is preferable to live in Hell rather with a vile person in Heaven)

Parityaajya = to give up or renounce, discard.       Visham = poison.     Pivanti = drink.

i.e.       People do not follow the tenets of Religion even on religious occasions where they are supposed to do so and deliberately indulge in sinful deeds.   It is really surprising that in this world people discard the 'Amrita' and deliberately choose poison instead.

(In this subhashita the author has compared  virtuous deeds according to the tenets of religion to "Amruta" and sinful deeds to a poison, and expresses surprise at the tendency of people deliberately and knowingly choosing the path leading to sins.)

Kaarpanyena = poverty,parsimony, indigence.      Yashh = fame.       Krudhaa =  anger.
Gunachayo = various qualities and virtues.      Dambhen =hypocrisy.    Satyam= truth.

Hatah = destroyed, gone.

i.e.       If a person  is very poor he loses his fame.  If he always remains angry his virtues and qualities are destroyed.  If he is a hypocrite he will no longer be truthful,and hunger in him results in loss of propriety in society. He will lose his  wealth if he has any type of addiction and also his  firmness if he faces any calamity.
A respected Brahmin priest or a preacher loses all his respect if he is negligent and indulges in any type of intoxication. .If  a person is wicked he loses the status of his family in society. Pride and insolence results in loss of humility and propriety of conduct in a person, and improper behaviour results in loss of manliness..  Poverty results in loss of respect in the society and self interest and too much attachment for any thing by a person destroys  all his self -enlightenment.

(This subhashita lists all the pitfalls that a person faces during his life time and expects that these should be avoided.  As regards hunger there is another  saying - '( वुभुक्षितम्  किं न करोति पापं '  (vubhukshitam kim na karoti paapam) i.e. a hungry person does not hesitate to do any sinful act.  Hunger can be for any thing besides food.)

tare+ saagare.     Bhavert = happens.    Vindhya = the name of a Mountain.    Tare = swim, float.
Saagare = an ocean.

i.e.        Renowned sages like Vishwaamitra, Paraashar and many other sages, who subsisted on air, water and leaves of vegetation in their pursuit of  chastity and salvation, when they too suffered with infatuation and confusion on seeing a woman's charming and beautiful face like a lotus flower , then those persons who always enjoy sumptuous meals of cooked rice along with ghee, milk and curd , if they are able to control and subdue their passion, it is just like the Vindhya mountain floating and swimming in the ocean

(The above Subhashita is a fine example of penmanship of its author, highlighting the difficulties faced in maintaining a chaste and righteous life by ordinary people.)

Khanjan = a wagtail bird known for its beautiful eyes.       Aaksh = eyes.
Khanjanaaksheenaam = a beautiful woman having beautiful eyes like the bird called 'khanjan' .

i.e.       Addressing  foolish listeners  sagaciously is a futile exercise and does not produce any fruitful result, just like a blind husband of a beautiful woman with sparkling eyes ( like a 'khanjan' bird ) is unable to appreciate her beauty,   

(There is a proverb in Hindi echoing this sentiment in a rather crude way as - ' भैस के आगे बीन बजाय भैस खडी पगुराय' - 'Bhains ke aage been bajaya bhains khadee pagurai'  i.e. playing a flute before a Buffalo does not charm it and it continues groaning.

          आज 'हिमालय दिवस' के उपलक्ष्य मे हिन्दी के मूर्धन्य कवि और छायावाद के प्रवर्तक महान्  कवि और विचारक स्वर्गीय सच्चिदानन्द हीरानन्द वात्स्यायन 'अज्ञेय'  की इस कालजयी कविता को आप की सेवा मे पुनः प्रस्तुत करता हूं |   'अज्ञेय' जी को हिमालय तथा विशेषतः उत्तराखण्ड् की भूमि से बेहद लगाव था | उनकी अधिकांश कविताओं का यहीं सृजन हुआ था   इस कविता मे  मानव द्वारा प्रकृति के विनाश की पीडा को व्यक्त करते हुए कवि ने जो भविष्यवाणी करीब् ५० वर्ष पूर्व की थी वह् सत्य साबित हुई, क्यों कि कवि एक भविष्यवक्ता भी होता है और उसे नजरन्दाज करना कितना महंगा हमें पडा  वह् अब सबके सामने है |

     आज उत्तराखण्ड की जो दुर्दशा विकास  के नाम पर पर्यावरण  से खिलवाड करने से हुई है उसका वीभत्स चित्रण  उपर्युक्त कविता में 50 वर्ष पूर्व ही कवि ने  कर दिया था |पर हमारे नीति नियन्ताओं द्वारा उसकी अनदेखी का परिणाम हम  भुगतने को अभिशापित  हैं |  भविष्य में भी हम चेतेंगे इस में भी शक है.|
      इस त्रासदी में मारे गये हजारों व्यक्तियों को हमारी सच्ची श्रद्धाञ्जलि  यही होगी कि भविष्य  में पर्यावरण  की सुरक्षा का हम  वचन लें और निष्ठा पूर्वक उसका पालन करें |

i.e.            Although the 'ketak' plant is inhibited by snakes , does not produce any fruits, is full of thorns, is curved and bent, grows on muddy ground and is difficult to approach,  it is still liked due to the very sweet smell produced by its flowers.  Indeed, even one quality or virtue destroys all other shortcomings in a person or a thing.

(On the lines of the above Subhashita there is a proverb in Hindi -  दुधारू गाय की लात भी भली- (Dudhaaru gaaya kee laat bhee bhalee) i.e. A lactating cow is still tolerated even if kicks the person milking, because it gives milk.)

i.e.      Oh !   by associating with wicked people, one has to face loss of respect and honor at every step, as is the case with iron in the company of fire being repeatedly hit by a hammer.

(In this Subhashita the author has used the simile of a piece of iron being heated inside a furnace and afterwards beaten with a hammer to give it the desired shape. Similarly association with wicked people lands a person into trouble again and again.)

i.e.     If a ruler of a country is imprudent and unable to judge what is good or bad for his country,all virtuous and noble persons also tend  lose their virtues and moral values. In spite of his being the King or a Prime Minister of the  Country, his gestures are like that of  a woman and he is a coward like an eunuch.

(This Subhashita warns about the harm that is done to a country headed by a weak King or Prime Minister, in no uncertain terms.  That is why it is also said  - राजा कालस्य कारणम्  (Raaja kaalasya kaaranam) or - यथा राजा तथा प्रजा (Yathaa raajaa tatha praja)  i,e, (i) the events in a country are determined by the way it is ruled by the King and (ii) the actions and behavior of the subjects are dependent on the actions of the rulers.  All over the world in many countries we see the truth behind the above Subhashita.)
