आयुष्यं सर्वथा  रक्ष्यं  प्राणिनामिह  धीमता |
अप्यल्पगुणसंपन्नो  जीवन्भद्राणि  पश्यति || - महासुभषितसंग्रह (5162)

भावार्थ -     इस संसार में दीर्घायु की कामना से अपने शरीर की रक्षा
करने की बुद्धि सभी प्राणियों में होती है |  चाहे वह  प्राणी बहुत ही कम
गुणों से संपन्न हो , फिर भी अपने जीवनकाल  में  सुख और समृद्धि की
ही कामना करता है |

Aayushyam sarvathaa rakshyam peraanimiha dheemataa,
Apyalpyagunasampanno jeevanbhadrani pashyati.

Praaninaam + iha.     Praaninaam = living beings .   Iha - in this'
world      Dheemataa = wisdom.      Apyalpagunasampanno=
api +alpa +guna _ sampanno.,     Api = evev,     Alpa = very little.

living beings who are endowed with very little virtues , thinks of
or craves for a happy and prosperous life.
