एकः शत्रुर्नद्वितीयोSस्ति शत्रुरज्ञानतुल्यः पुरुषस्य राजन् |
येनावृतः कुरुते संप्रयुक्तः घोराणि कर्माणि सुदारुणानि || -महासुभषितसंग्रह
भावार्थ - हे राजन् ! मानव का अज्ञान के समतुल्य दूसरा और कोई शत्रु नहीं
होता है क्यों कि इसके प्रभाव से ही वह अनेक अत्यन्त बुरे और क्रूर (दया रहित )
कर्मों को करने में संलग्न रहता है |
(अज्ञान के कारण मनुष्य में अपने भले और बुरे की पहचान नहीं होती है जिसके
फलस्वरूप वह् बुरे और निषिद्ध कार्यों को करने में जरा भी संकोच नहीं करता है |
इसी तथ्य को एक उपदेश के रूप मे उपर्युक्त सुभाषित मे व्यक्त किया गया है )
Ekah shatrurnadviteeyosti shatruragyaanatulyah purushasya raajan.
Yenavrutah kurute sampruktah ghoraani karmaani sudaarunaani.
Ekah = one. Shatrurnadviteeyosti = shatruh +na +dviteeyo+ asti.
Shatruh = enemy. Na = not. Dviteeyo = second. Asti = is.
Shatruragyaanatulyah = shatruh + agyaan + tulyah. Agyaana=
ignorance. Tulyah = of the same kind, similar. Purashasya = of a
person. Raajan = King. Yenaavrutah = yena_aavrutah. Yena=
by means of which. Aavrutah = covered, involved. Kurute =
does. Samprayuktah = bound to., dependent on. Ghoraani =
horrible. Karmaani = actions, deeds. Sudaarunaani = very cruel.
i.e. O King ! ignorance is the first and foremost enemy of a person
and there is no other enemy comparable to it, because under its influence
he tends to commit many horrible and cruel deeds,
(Due to ignorance a person is unable to differentiate between things
that are good and bad for him, and as a result he does not hesitate to
do deeds that are harmful to him. This fact ha been highlighted in the
above Subhashita.)
