Today's Subhashita.

हेतुप्रमाणयुक्तं  वाक्यं  न  श्रूयते  दरिद्रस्य |
अप्यतिपरुशमसत्यं पूज्यं वाक्यं समृद्धस्य ||
 
अर्थ -     एक दरिद्र व्यक्ति द्वारा कही हुई  तर्क और प्रमाण युक्त बात को भी लोग नहीं सुनते हैं | लेकिन
एक समृद्ध (धनवान्) व्यक्ति द्वारा कही हुई अत्यन्त कटु और असत्य बात को लोग आदरपूर्वक सुनते  हैं |

Hetupramaanayuktam vaakyam  na shrooyate daridrasya.
Apyatiparushmasatyam poojyam vaakyam samruddhasya.

Hetu = purpose, reason.    Pramaana = proof.     Yuktam = with.    Vaakyam =  saying,statement.
Na = not.    Shrooyate =  is heard.     Daridrasya = a poor person's.  Apyatiparushamasatyam = api +
atri + parusham + asatyam.     Api = even.    Ati = very, too much.    Parusham = harsh, unkind.
Asatyam = fase, untrue.   Poojyam = venerable.    Samruddhasya = a wealthy person's.

i.e.    People do not heed the statement of a poor person even if it is backed by a valid reason and
proof.  However, if a wealthy person says something very harsh and totally false, the same is lapped
up by the people.
