Today's Subhashita.

असंतुष्टा  द्विजा नष्टाः संतुष्टाश्च  महीभृतः |
सलज्जा गणिका नष्टा निर्लज्जाश्च कुलाङ्गना ||    - महासुभषित संग्रह  (३६१५ )

अर्थ -     जो ब्राह्मण असन्तोषी स्वभाव के होते हैं  उनका नाश  हो जाता
 है (वे अपना सम्मान खो  देते हैं)और इस के विपरीत यदि राजा (या शासक वर्ग)
संतुष्ट रहते हैं तो उनकी भी और उनके राज्य की अवनति हो जाती है |  यदि
नृत्यांगनायें और वेश्यायें  लज्जाशील  हों तथा सम्मानित महिलायें निर्लज्ज हों तो
उनकी भी अवनति निश्चित है |

Asantushtaa dvijaa nashtaah santushtaashcha maheebhrutah .
Salajjaa ganikaa nashtaah nirlajjaashcha kulaanganaa.

Asantushtaa = discontented, displeased.     Dvijaa = a Brahmins or members of
the three upper castes in which Hindu society is classified, namely Brahmins ,
Kshtriya , Vaishyas, and  the Shoodras.    Nashtaah = downfall, denigration.
Sanushtaashcha = Santushtaah + cha.     Santushtaah = contenied, gratified.
Cha = and.    Maheebhrutah =  a King (or a ruler of a country).      Salajja =
modest, bashful.     Ganikaa = a courtesan or a prostitute.     Nirlajaaashcha =
Nirlajjah + cha.      Nirlajjah = shameless.    Kulanganaa = respectable woman.

i.e.      If the Brahmins remain discontented then their reputation is denigrated
whereas if the King (or the rulers of the country) remains gratified then his
(and also his kingdom's) downfall is also certain .  If courtesans and prostitutes
are modest and bashful  and on the contrary respectful women are shameless, then
in both the cases their downfall is certain.
