Today's Subhashita.

आतुरो च पिता वैद्यः स्वस्थीभूते च बान्धवः  |
गते  रोगे  कृते स्वास्थ्ये वैद्यो भवति  पालकः ||   -महासुभषितसंग्रह (4541)

अर्थ -     बीमार व्यक्ति के लिये एक वैद्य (डाक्टर ) उसके पिता के समान
होता है और स्वस्थ रहने की स्थिति में  एक  मित्र और रिश्तेदार  के समान
होता है | परन्तु वैद्य द्वारा उपचार किये जाने के बाद  रोगमुक्त हो कर और
स्वास्थ्य लाभ होने पर वैद्य उसके लिये  एक संरक्षक के समान  हो जाता  है |

Aaturo cha pita vaidyah svastheebhoote cha baandhavah.
Gate roge krute svaaasthyae vaidyo bhavati paalakah.

Aaturo = sick, suffering,     Cha = and.      Pitaa = father.    Vaidyah =
a doctor practising Indian system of medicine.      Svastheebhoote =
after recovering from illness and again becoming healthy.   Baandhavah =
a relative, friend.    Gate = gone.     Roge = illness.     Krute = done.
Svaasthye= health.    bhavati - becomes.   Paalakah =  a guardian, a protector,

i,e,      For a sick person a doctor is like his father, and while a person is
healthy the doctor is like his friend or a relative.   But when one gets cured
of his ailment and regains his lost health by the treatment given by  the doctor,
the doctor becomes his  guardian or a protector.
