Today's Subhashita.

उत्सवे   व्यसने   प्राप्ते   दुर्भिक्षे   शत्रुसंकटे  |
राजद्वारे श्मशाने  च यस्तिष्ठति स बान्धवः || - महासुभषितसंग्रह

भावार्थ  -  कोई  भी व्यक्ति जो  किसी उत्सव में, किसी  प्रकार के
व्यसन को  करते समय , दुर्भिक्ष (अकाल ) के  समय,  किसी शत्रु
के  द्वारा  उत्पन्न संकट  के समय,  राजद्वार (सरकारी कार्यालय )
या  श्मशान (शव  दाह करने का स्थान )  में तुम्हारे  साथ   होता है
तो वह् तुम्हारे मित्र और बान्धव के समान होता है  |
