Today's Subhashita.

असत्येनैव  जीवन्ति  वेश्याः सत्यविवर्जिताः |
एताः सत्येन नश्यन्ति मद्येनैव कुलाङ्गना ||   - महासुभषितसंग्रह (3689)

अर्थ -     झूठ बोल कर तथा सत्यवादिता से रहित हो कर ही वेश्यायें अपना
जीवनयापन करती हैं और अगर वे सच बोलें तो उनका उसी प्रकार नाश हो
जाता है जिस प्रकार शराब की लत लगने से एक कुलीन महिला का नाश  हो
जाता है |

Asatyenaiva jeevanti veshyaa satyavivarjitaah.
Etaah satyena nashyanti madyenaiva kulaangana.

Asatyenaiva = asatyena +aiva.       Asatyena = by falsehood, lying.
Aiva = really.     Jeevanti = make a living.     Veshyaah = prostitutes.
Satyavivarjitaa = satya +vivarjitaah.       Satya = truthfuleness.
Vivarjitaah = devoid of,  deprived of.     Etaah = these.      Satyena =
by truthfulness.     Nashyanti = perish.    Madyenaiva = madyena+aiva.
Madyena = by (consuming) liquor.      Kulanganaa = a respectable and
virtuous woman.

i.e.      Prostitutes are able to earn their living only by telling lies and by
avoiding truthfulness, and if they  remain truthful they will perish just
like a noble and righteous woman addicted to liquor.
