Today'sSubhashita.

अङ्गेन गात्रं नयनेन वक्त्रं  न्यायेन राज्यं  लवणेन  भोज्यं |
धर्मेण हीनं खलु जीवितं च न राजते चन्द्रमसा बिना निशा ||

अर्थ -        अंगो (हाथ  पांव  आदि ) के बिना शरीर ,  नेत्रों के बिना चेहरा, न्याय व्यवस्था के बिना राज्य, नमक के  बिना भोजन,  धर्म  तथा सदाचरण  के बिना मानव जीवन,  निश्चय ही ये सभी कभी भी उसी प्रकार शोभित और सम्मानित  नहीं होते हैं जिस प्रकार चन्द्रमा की ज्योत्स्ना के बिना अंधियारी रात शोभा नहीं  पाती है |

Angena gaatram nayanena vakrtam nyaanena raajyam lavanena bhojyam.
Dharmena heenam khalu jeevitam cha na raajate chandramasaa binaa nishaa.

Angena = by a limb of the body.     Gaatram = body.    Nayanena = by the eyes.
Vaktram = face.     Nyaayena = by the justice.     Raajyam = a kingdom or a Nation.
Lavanenaa = by the salt.        Bhojyam = cooked food.       Dharmena = by religious abstraction, righteousness.       Heenam =  without, deprived of.      Khalu = truly/     Jeevitam = one's life..
Cha = and.    Na = not.      Raajate = embellished, be resplendent.     Chandramasaa = relating
to the Moon.     Bina = without.      Nisha = night.

i.e.    Human body without any limb,  face without the eyes,  a Nation without an effective and powerful  judiciary,  cooked food without any salt,  human life without  righteousness and following the Religion,  are  truly not termed as embellished or resplendent, just like a dark night  without the Moon in the sky.
