Today's Subhashita.

अल्पतोयश्चलत्कुम्भो ह्यल्पदुग्धाश्च  धेनवः |
अल्पविद्यो  महागर्वी  कुरूपी  बहुचेष्तितः      ||

अर्थ -     कम जल से युक्त घडे से जल छलकने लगता है और कम  दूध
देने वाली गायें भी बहुत उछलती कूदती हैं |  कंम पडा लिखा व्यक्ति बहुत
अभिमानी होता है  तथा कुरूप व्यक्ति या स्त्री अपने प्रति ध्यान आकर्षित
करने के लिये अनेक प्रकार की चेष्टायें (हाव भाव ) करते हैं |

(हिन्दी में एक कहावत् है कि - 'अधजल गगरी छलकत जाय ' जो इस
सुभाषित में भी व्यक्त किया गया है , जिस का तात्पर्य यह् है कि जो व्यक्ति
विद्वान्, सुन्दर तथा विभिन्न  गुणों  से संपन्न होते हैं उनके  स्वाभाव  में 
गांभीर्य तथा शालीनता  होती  है जिसका अशिक्षित,गुणहीन व्यक्तियों मे
अभाव होता है   तथा वे बडबोले और  अभिमानी होते हैं |)

Alpatoyashchalatkumbho hyalpadug dhaashcha dhenavah.
Alpavidyo mahaagarvee kuroopee bahucheshtitah.

Alpatoyashchalatkumbho = alpa+toyah+chat+kumbhh.    Alpa =
Very little.   Toyah = water.    Chalat = moves    Kumbhah = a
pitcher.    Hyalpadugdhaashcha = hi +alpa+dugdhaah +cha.
Hi = surely    Dugdhaa = milk producing.   Cha = and,   Dhenavah=
cows.     Alpavidyo = uneducated or not  adequately educated.
Mahaagarvee = very proud, arrogant         Kuroopee = ugly looking.
Bahucheshtitah = bahu+cheshtitah.   Bahu = much,   Cheshtitah =
making guestures., making efforts to attract others.

i.e.       A pitcher half filled with water makes  a rumbling sound and
spills the water while being transported, and likewise a cow producing
very little milk makes tantrums while being milked.   An uneducated
person is very proud  and arrogant and an ugly person always makes
gestures and efforts to attract attention of others.

( The above Subhashita highlights the fact that learned and virtuous
persons  always behave with dignity and kindness, whereas those
who are uneducated and without  any virtues,are arrogant and boastful,
For this purpose the simile of a half-filled pitcher of water and other
similes have been used.)
