अश्वं स्नातं गजं मत्तं वृषभं काममोहितं |
शूद्रमक्षरसंयुक्तं दूरतः परिवर्जयेत् || - महासुभषितसंग्रह (3533)
अर्थ = नहलाया हुआ घोडा, मदमत्त हाथी , काममोहित सांड तथा
कम पढा लिखा शूद्र, इन सभी से सदैव दूरी बना कर बचना चाहिये (क्यों
कि इनके व्यवहार का पूर्वानुमान नहीं किया जा सकता है ) |
Ashvm snaatm gaajm matatm vrushabham kaamamohitaam.
Shoodramaksharasamyuktam dooratah parivarjayet
Ashvm = a horse. Snatm = bathed. Gajm = an Elephant.
Mattm = drunken, mad. Vrushabham = a Bull. Kaamamohita=
sexually aroused. Shoodramaksharsmyuktm = shoodram +akshar+
samyuktam. Shoodram = man of lowest caste. Aksharasmyuktam =
a person who can just read and write but is not learned. Dooratah =
from a distance. Parivarjayet = avoided, shunned.
i.e. One should always keep a safe distance from a bathed horse, a
drunken elephant, a sexually aroused bull and a lowly person who can
just read and write (because their behaviour is always unpredictable.
