Today's Subhashita.

उत्तमस्य क्षणं कोपो मध्यमस्य प्रहरद्वयं |
अधमस्य  अहोरात्रं  पापिष्ठो  नैव  मुच्यते  ||

अर्थ -     उत्तम आचार और व्यवहार वाले व्यक्तियों का क्रोध क्षणिक होता है और एक मध्यं श्रेणी के व्यक्ति का क्रोध दो प्रहर तक ही रहता है |  जो  व्यक्ति निम्न श्रेणी के होते हैं उनका क्रोध एक दिन तक रहता है , परन्तु जो पापी और क्रूर व्यक्ति होते हैं  वे सदैव  क्रोधित ही  रहते हैं |

Uttamasya kshanam kopo madhyamasya praharadvyam.
Adhamasya ahoraatram paapishtho naiva muchyate.

Uttamasya =   righteous and morally superior persons.   Kshanam=  momentary.       Kopo = anger.
Madhyamasya = a moderate person's     Praharadvyam = Prahar + dvyam.    Prahar = 1/8th part of a day'
(According to Indian Astronomy a day is divided into eight prahars of approximately 3 hours each as per the Western system of time management.  'Praharadvya' is, therefore from sunrise upto mid day,) .
Dvyam = two.       Adhamasya = person of lowest category.      Ahoraatram = day and night.(24 hours).
Paapishtho = most wicked and sinful.      Naiva =  never.     Muchyate = escapes, get rid of.

i.e.    The anger among righteous and superior persons remains momentarily, whereas in persons of average  intelligence it remains for about two "Prahars' ( six hours)..   Among persons of lowest category anger remains for a period of one day and night (24 hours), but in case of most wicked and sinful persons it never leaves them.
