Today's Subhashita.

मार्जार  भक्षिते  दुःखं  यादृशं  गृहकुक्कुटे  |
न ताद्रुशममताशून्ये कलविङ्केSथ  मूषके ||

अर्थ -      एक घर में पले हुए मुर्गे को जैसा दुःख (भय) इस बात का होता है कि
(उसके साथ ही  पली हुई )  बिल्ली उसे खा जायगी , उस तरह् की ममता शून्यता
(निर्ममता ) एक चूहे की  एक गौरय्या चिडिया  के प्रति नहीं होती है |

( इस सुभाषित का तात्पर्य यह है कि ममत्व और क्रूरता विभिन्न प्राणियों में एक
समान नहीं होती है |  वह् उनके स्वभाव तथा आकार पर  निर्भर करती है |)

Maarjaar bhakshite duhkham yaadrusham grahakukkute,
Na taadrushamamataashoonye kalavinketha mooshake.

Maarjaar =  a cat.    Bhakshite = devouring, eating.    Duhkham = distress,
grief.     Yaadrushm =  as is to,      Grahkukkute = domestic cock.
Na = not.   Taadrushmamataashoonye= taadrusham +mamata + shoonye.
Taadrush = like that.       Mamataa = interest, feeling of attachment,            
Shoonye = devoid of  interest.      Kalvinketha = kalvinke + atha.
Kalvinke = a sparrow.    Atha = certainly, moreover.  Mooshake = a mouse.

i.e.       The manner in which a domestic cock feels distressed and fears that
the cat devoid of any feeling of attachment will devour it at any time , similar
feeling of distress and fear is  not experienced by a sparrow from a mouse.

(   The idea behind this Subhashita is that feeling of attachment and cruelty is
never the same in all living beings and it depends upon their nature and the size.)
