Today's Subhashita.

अभिवादनशीलस्य   नित्यं   वृद्धोपिसेविनः |
चत्वारि तस्य वर्द्धन्ते आयुर्विद्या यशो बलम् ||

अर्थ -    जो व्यक्ति दूसरों के प्रति  अभिवादन  द्वारा मित्रता और
आदर प्रदर्शित करते हैं और सदैव वृद्ध जनों की  सेवा करते हैं , उनकी
आयु, विद्या, यश और बल, इन चारों में  निरन्तर वृद्धि होती रहती है |

Abhivaadansheelasya nityam vruddhopasevinah.
Chatvaari tasya varddhante aayurvidya yasho balam.

Abhivaadanasheelasya = a person who respects and salutes
other persons,    Nityam = always.   Vruddhopasevinah =
Vrudddha + upasevinah.       Vruddha = aged persons.
Upasevinah = serving devotedly.    Chatvaari = four.
Tasya = his.    Varddhante =  increase.   Aayurvidyaa =
Aayuh + vidyaa.     Aayuh = life/     Vidyaa = knowledge.
Yasho = fame.    Balam = strength, power.

i.e.    Those persons who show courtesy and respect to others by
saluting them and always devotedly serve aged persons, then
their four attributes, namely life span, knowledge, fame and power,
increase  progressively.
