Today's Subhashita.

सिंहस्य शिशुरपि निपतति मदमलिनकपालभित्तिषु गजेषु |
प्रकृतिरियं  सत्ववतां  न  खलु  वयस्तेजसो  हेतु  ||

अर्थ -     एक सिंह शावक भी मदोद्धत्त हाथी के मस्तक पर निर्भीक हो कर झपट कर आक्रमण कर देता है
क्योंकि यह उसकी स्वाभाविक प्रकृति  है |  सचमुच  शक्ति और पराक्रम महान् व्यक्तियों मे जन्मजात होता है  और निश्चय ही उसका कोई संबन्ध  उनकी आयु से नहीं होता है |

      Sinhasya shishurapi nipatati madamalinkapolbhittishu gageshu.
Prakritiriyam satvavataam na khalu vayastejeso hetu.

Singhasya = a Lion's     Shishurapi = shishu + api.     Shishu = child (lion's  cub).    Api = even.
Nipatati = attacks.    Madamalinkapolbhittishu =  mada +malin +kapol +bhittishu.    Mada =intoxication.   Malin = dirtied.    Kapaal = forehead.  Bhittishu = wall (alluded to the forehead of an elephant.   Gajeshu =  elephants' .    Prakritiriyam = prakriti + iyam.    Prakriti = nature.
Iyam = this/     Satvavattam = persons endowed with courage and energy.   Khalu = surely.
Vayastejaso =  Vayah +tejaso.    Vayah = age.    Tejasso = power.     Hetu = reason, means.

i.e.       Even a lion's cub fearlessly pounces upon the wall like forehead of an excited and frenzied elephant, because valour and courage are inherent in the nature of a Lion.  Truly , age is of no consequence in persons endowed with these qualities.
