IT IS NO PLACE TO LIVE

SUBHASHITHAM: 045

तत्र मित्र , न वस्तव्यं यत्र नास्ति चतुष्टयं I                                                                                             ऋणदाता च वैद्यच श्रोत्रिय: सजला नदी II

Tatra mitra, na vastvayam yatra naasti chatushtayam I                                                                              Runa daata cha vaidyascha srothriya: sajalaa nadi II                                                                          Oh! Friend, don’t live where these four are not available: 1.Money lender,2.Doctor,3.Vedic scholar  and 4.River with plenty of water.

यस्मिन् देशे न संमानो न प्रीतिर्न च बान्धवा : I

न विद्या नास्ति धनिको न तत्र दिवसं वसेत्  II

Yasmin dese na sammaana:  na preetir na cha bandhavaa:  I                                                                     Na vidyaa naasti dhaniko na tatra divasam vaset II

Where there are no rewards; no satisfaction; no relatives; No facility for education; No rich man to help during distress, don’t stay in such a place for even a day.

नाधर्मिके वसेद्ग्रामे न व्याधि बहुलेब्रुशं I

नैक: प्रपद्येताध्वानं न चिरं पर्वते वसेत् II

 Naa dharmike vasedgraame na vyaadi bahulebrusham I

Naika: prapadyetaavaanam na chiram parvate vaset II

Don’t live in a village where noble men are absent, nor live in a place of epidemic. Don’t go on a long trip   alone. Never stay for long in mountainous regions.

यत्र विध्यागमो नास्ति  यत्र नास्ति धनागम: I

यत्र च आत्मसुखं नास्ति न तत्र दिवसं वसेत् II

Yatra vidyaagamo naasti yatra naasti dhanaagamo I                                                                                   Yatra cha aatma sukham naasti na tatra divasam   vaset II

Where there is no place for education, no opportunities for earning a livelihood, where peaceful living is at a premium, it is no place to stay even for a day.

 वरं वनं व्याघ्र गजादि सेवितं द्रुमालयं पत्र फलांबु भोजनं I

तृणानि शय्या वसनं च वल्कलं न भन्धु मध्ये धन हीन जीवनं II                                                                     varam vanam vyagra gajaadi sevitam drumaalayam patra phalaambu bhojanam I                   Trunaani shayya vasanam cha valkalam na bhandu madye dhanaheenajeevanamII                                                             

You can stay in a forest infested with tigers and elephants ; you can eat the leaves and fruits in a forest; sleep in a bed of grass; wear dress made of leaves; but it is most painful to live in penury amongst one’s own  relatives.
