Today's Subhashita.

नास्ति  गंगा  समं  तीर्थं  नास्ति  मातृ समो गुरुः |
नास्ति विष्णु समो देवो नास्ति रामायणात्  परम् ||

अर्थ -      पुण्यसलिला गंगा नदी के समान न कोई  तीर्थ है और न एक बालक की  माता के  समान कोई
गुरु हो सकता है | भगवान्  विष्णु के समान न कोई अन्य देवता है और न रामायण के समान कोई  अन्य काव्य है |

Naasti gamgaa samam teerthm naasti maatru samo guruh.
Naasti vishnu samo devo naasti raamaayanaat param.

Naasti = na +asti.    Na = not.     Asti = is.     Ganga = the sacred river Ganges originating from
Himalaya Mountain range.     Samam = equal to.     Teertham = an object or place of religious importance venerated by the practitioners of a religion, eg. Kedarnath, Haridwar, Varanasi etc.
Maatru = mother.      Guruh = teacher.     Vishnu = God Vishnu.    Devo = gods
Raamayanaat =  like the Ramayana, the epic written by the sage Valmiki dealing with the life and deeds of Lord Ram, an incarnation of God Vishnu.      Param = beyond, greater than.

i.e.        There is no other sacred place like the river Ganges and no teacher equal to the mother of a child.  No other God is equal to God Vishnu and no other epic is equal to the Ramayana.
