आज का सुभाषित / Today's Subhashita.

कण्ठादूर्ध्वं  विनिर्याति प्राणाः याञ्चाक्षरैः सह  |
ददामीत्यक्षरैर्दातु:   पुनः  श्रोत्राद्विशन्ति  ते    || - महासुभषितसंग्रह(८३९७)

भावार्थ -   कण्ठ के ऊपरी भाग से याचना (मांगना ) के शब्द उच्चारित
होते ही प्राण शरीर से बाहर होने लगते हैं  | परन्तु यदि  दाता यह कहता
है कि में अवश्य दूंगा , तो इन शब्दों को अपने कानों से सुनने से उसको
शान्ति  प्राप्त हो जाती है  }|

(इस सुभाषित में एक याचक की  मनोदशा का बडा ही सुन्दर वर्णन किया
गया है |   जब  तक याचक  को यह आश्वासन नहीं मिलता है  कि उसकी
प्रार्थना स्वीकार् कर ली जायेगी उसके प्राण कण्ठगत ही रहते हैं | )

Kanthaadoordhvam viniryaati praanaah yaanchaaksharaih saha.
Dadaameetyaksharairdatuh punah shrotraadvishanti tey.

Kanthaadoordhvam = kanthaat + oordhvam.    Kanthaat = from the
throat's.        Oordhvam = upper region.       Viniryaati = go out.
Praanaah = breath of life.    Yaanchaaksharaih = yanchaa + aksharaih.
Yanchaa = begging , mean soliciting.    Aksharaih = words, alhabets.
Saha = along with.    Dadaameetyaksharairdaatum = dadami + iti +
aksharaih + daatum      Dadaami = I will give.      Iti = this, that.
Daatum = by giving.       Punah = again.      Shrotranti =
Shrotraat +vishaanti.     Shrotraat = from the ears.     Vishaanti =
vi + shanti.    Vi = a prefix meaing specially.    Shanti = peace of
mind.  Tey =  they.

i.e.         When a person begs or solicits something from  another
person, while uttering such words from the upper portion of his throat,
he feels as if his breathe of life will go out.   But when he hears the
the affirmative words of the giver from his own ears,  he again gets
his peace of mind.

( In this Subhashita the psychological state of mind of  a person
soliciting some favour from another person has been highlighted
beautifully.)
