Today's Subhashita.

अराजकेषु राष्ट्रेषु धर्मो न ह्यवतिष्ठति |
परस्परं  च बाधन्ते सर्वथा धिगराजकं   ||

अर्थ -      जिस राष्ट्र में अरजाकता (सक्षम शासक या राजा के न होने के कारण
न्याय व्यवस्था  तथा शासन का न होना) की स्थिति विद्यमान हो वहां  धार्मिकता
समाप्त हो जाती है क्योंकि अराजकता और कुशासन आपस  में  एक दूसरे को
बिगाड देते हैं | अतः अराजकता सर्वथा  निन्दनीय है |

Araajakeshu raashtreshu dharmo na hyavatishthati.
Parasparam cha baadhante sarvathaa dhigaraajakam.

Araajakeshu =  having no ruler, anarchic.   Raashtreshu = Kindgom,
State.   Dharmo = religious austerity   Na = not.  Hyavatishthati =
hi + avatishthati.     Hi = surely.   Avatishthati = exists,  abides.
Parasparam = each other, reciprocally.   Cha =and   Baadhante =
spoil, obstruct.     Sarvathaa = by all means.   Dhigrajakam = dhik +
arajakam.      Dhik = shame upon, reprehensible,    Araajakam = anarchy.

i.e.     In a Nation besieged with anarchy and lawlessness (for want of an
able ruler) religious austerity can never exist, because anarchy and misrule
spoil each other.  By all means such anarchy is to be reprimanded and
condemned.
