To day's Subhashita.

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.)
