अबला  यत्र  प्रबला  शिशुरवनीशो  निरक्षरो  मन्त्री |
नहिनहि तत्र धनाSSशा जीवित  आशाSपि दुर्लभा भवति ||   - सुभाषित संग्रह

अर्थ -    जिस राज्य  में  महिलायें सौम्य न हो  कर क्रूर स्वभाव वाली  हों, राज्य  ,
 का शासक (राजा) एक बालक (शिशु  के समान अबोध) हो , और  राज्य के  मन्त्री
 निरक्षर (पढा लिखा न होना) हो,  तो ऐसे राज्य में  धनवान् होने की आशा तो
करनी ही नहीं चाहिये  और जीवित रहने की आशा भी दुर्लभ हो जाती है |

Abalaa yatra prabalaa shishuravineesho niraksharo mantri.
Nahinahi tatra dhanaashaaa jivita  aashaapi durlabhaa bhavati.

Abalaa = a modest woman.    Yatra = where.     Prabalaa = a mighty
woman.      Shishuraneeho =   shishuh + avaneesho.     Shishuh =
a child.      Avaneesho - a king.     Niraksharo =  illiterate.    Mantri =
a secratary, a king's minister.    Nahihani =  not at all. .   Tatra = there.
Dhanaashaa = dhana +aashaa.    Dhana = wealth.    Aashaa = hope.
Jeevit =   being alive.     Aashaapi = aashaa+ api.    Api = even.
Durlabaha = difficult to obtain or find.    Bhavati = becomes.

i.e.      In a country where the women folk are aggressive instead of being
modest , the ruler is a child ( innocent and submissive like a child), and
his Ministers are illiterate , one should not at all hope to become a rich
person  and even the hope of remaining alive is very difficult to achieve.,.
