Today's Subhashita.

अर्जितं स्वेन वीर्येण नान्यपाश्रित्य कंचन |
फलशाकमपि  श्रेयो भोक्तुं ह्यकृपणे ग्रहे  ||

अर्थ -     प्रत्येक व्यक्ति को धन संपत्ति अपने स्वयं के प्रयत्न से अर्जित करनी चाहिये न कि अन्य व्यक्तियों के  ऊपर आश्रित रह कर |   इस हेतु यदि एक   कंजूस व्यक्ति के समान अपने ही  घर में शाक सब्जी पर ही जीवन निर्वाह करना पडे तो यही श्रेयस्कर है  |

Arjitam svena veeryena naanyapaashritya kanchanam.
Pjalashaakmapi shreyo bhoktum hyakkrupane grahe.

Arjitam =  earned.    Svena =  self.    Veeryena =  by the strength or efforts.     Naanyapaashritya = na + anyapaashritya.     Na = not.     Anyapashritya = depending  on others.      Kanchana = gold, wealth.
Phalashakamapi = phala +shaakam + api.      Phala = fruits.    Shaakam = vegetables.    Api = even.
Shreyo = preferable, rely on.    Bhoktum = dine, have meals.    Hyakrupane = hi +krupane.
Hi = surely.     Krupane = a miser's      Gruhe = residence.

i.e.     Every person should acquire wealth through his own efforts rather than depending upon others.  To achieve this objective it is preferable even to live as a miser and sustain his family on ordinary vegetables and fruits.
