आज का सुभाषित / Today's Subhashita.

एवं   सर्वं  विधायेदं   इतिकर्तव्यमात्मनः  |
युक्तश्चैवाप्रमत्तस्य  परिरक्षेदिमां  प्रजाः || -महासुभषितसंग्रह (८०७८)

भावार्थ -   ( हे राजन ! )  तुम्हारा यह  कर्तव्य है कि भली प्रकार
सोच समझ  कर  सावधानी पूर्वक तुम अपनी प्रजा की रक्षा करते
हुए शासन करो  |

( यह श्लोक किसी ऋषि अथवा महान व्यक्ति द्वारा एक राजा
(शासक) को दिया हुआ उपदेश है कि उसे किस प्रकार अपनी प्रजा
के रक्षा करने  के लिये सदैव तत्पर रहना चाहिये | )

Evam sarvam vidhaayedam itikartavyamaatmanah,
Yuktashchaivaapramattasya parirakshedimaam prajaah,

Evam = thus, really.  Sarvam =every,wholly.  Vidhaaayedam=
vidhaaya + idam.    Vidhaaya = apportion,  establish.  Idam=
Itikartavyamaatmanah = iti + kartavyam + aatmanah,
Iti = it is.     Kartavya = duty,     Atmanah =  Self.
Yuktashchaiapramattasya = yuktah + cha + iva +apramattasya.
Yuktah = possessed of,    Cha = and.   Iva =  like, than
Apramattasya = attentive vigilant, not careless.  Parirakshet =
should rule, govern.   Imaam = in this manner.   Prajaam =
the citizens.

i.e.    (O king ! )     It is your sacred duty that you should always
rule over your citizens by remaining vigilant for their protection.

(The above Subhashita appears to be an advice by a sage or a
Teacher as to how he should rule his country.)
