Today's Subhashita.

कामः क्रोधश्च लोभश्च मदो मानस्तस्थैव  च |
हर्षश्च  शत्रवो  ह्येते    नाशाय कुमहीभृतां       ||

अर्थ -   काम वासना,  क्रोध , लोभ, घमण्ड , अविनय तथा  मौज मस्ती
ये सभी दुर्गुण उस व्यक्ति के लिये  जिस ने गलत साधनों से जमीन  जायदाद
अर्जित की  हो शत्रु के समान है और अन्ततः उसके नाश के निमित्त बनते  हैं |

(प्रायः यह्  देखा गया है कि गलत साधनों से संपत्ति अर्जित करने वाले व्यक्ति
 इस सुभाषित में वर्णित दुर्गुणों में लिप्त हो कर नष्ट हो जाते है | यह सुभाषित
इसी बात  की चेतावनी देता है )

kaaamh krodhashcha lobhashcha mado maaanastathaiva cha.
Harshashcha shatravo hyate  naashaaya kumaheebhrutaam.

Kaamh = sexual desire.    Krodhashcha = Krodhh+cha.
Krodhh =  anger.    Cha = and.    Lobha= greed.   Mada = pride.
insolenc, intoxication    Manastathaiva = maanh+tathaa+iva.
Maan = arrogance.   Tathaa =also.     Iva = similalarly
Harashascha = Harshah + cha.    Harshah = pleasure.
Shatravo = enemies.   Hyate = are.    Naashaaya = for destruction.
Kumaheebhrutaam = ku+ mahee+ bhrutaam.    Ku = prefix to a letter.
denoting deterioration like 'un' in English.   Mahee =relating to land.
Bhrutaam = acquired.  Kumaheebhrutaam = those persons who
have acquired land and property through unfair means.

i.e.        Over indulgence in sexual matters, anger, greed, pride, addiction
 to liquor, arrogance, as also lavish lifestyle are the enemies of a person
who has acquired land and property through unfair or illegal means, and
ultimately result in his destruction.

(The above Subhashita is a sort of warning to those persons who want
to become rich quickly through foul means and their downfall results
in no time due to their arrogance and indulgence in the vices mentioned
in this Subhashita.)
