आज का सुभाषित / Today's Subhashita.


हा  हन्त  हन्त पिशुनाSSराधानापेक्षया वरम्  |
दावानलेSप्यवस्थानं  मरणे  वाSशनं   विना  ||
          - सुभाषित रत्नाकर (अच्युतरायजी )

भावार्थ -   हाय  !  एक दुष्ट व्यक्ति की आराधना के द्वारा उस से
कुछ प्राप्ति की अपेक्षा करने  से तो एक जलते हुए वन में निवास कर 
या भूखे रह कर मर जाना  ही अच्छा है |

Ha hant hant pishunaaraadhaanaapekshyaa varam.
Daavaanalepyavasthaanam marane vaashanam vinaa.

Haa  = particle expressing dejection    Hant = expression
of sorrow.  Pishuna +aaraadhana + apekshayaa.   Pishuna=
a wicked person.   Araadhana = adoration, gratifying.
Apekshayaaa = considering.   Varam = better, preferably.
Daavaanalae +api+avasthaaanam    Daavanale = in a
forest fire.    Api = even .   Avasthaanam = residing .
Marane =  death.   vaashanam = vaa + ashanam.   Vaa =or
Ashanam = eating   Vinaa = without .

i.e.    Alas !   it is preferable to die by living  in a burning forest
or by not taking any food , rather than adoring and gratifying a
mean and wicked person, with the hope of  getting some favour
from him .
