 SUBHASHITHANI:303

कण्टकस्य च भग्नस्य दन्तस्यचलितस्य च I

अमात्यस्य च दुष्टस्य मूलाद उद्धरणं वरं II

Kantakasya cha bhagnasya dantasya chalitasya cha I

Amaatyasya cha dushtasya moolat uddharanam varam II

A broken thorn in the foot, a loose tooth in the mouth, and a crafty minister should be mercilessly uprooted. 

कदली कन्दवद्धर्मो न रोहति बहिर् गतः I

छादितस्तु फलं चारु सूते पनस मूलवत् II

Kadalee kandavad dharmo na rohati bahir gatah I

Chaatastu phalam charu soote panaa moolavat II

Dharma does not show off externally like the stem of a plantain tree.; rather, like the root of a jack fruit tree , it lies dormant and puts forth its fruit.

लोभ मूलानि पापानि रसमूलानि व्याधयः I
इष्ट मूलानि शोकानि  त्रीणि त्यक्त्वा सुखी भव II
Lobha moolaani paapaani rasa moolani vyaadhayah I
Ishta moolaani shokaani treeni tyaktvaa sukhee bhava II
Avarice is the root of all sins. Gluttony is the origin of all diseases. Desire is the origin of all sorrows. Give up these three and be happy.

सर्वथा धर्म मूलो अर्थः धर्मश्च अर्थ परिग्रहः I
इतरेतरयोर नीतौ विद्धि मेघोदधी यथा II Mahabharatham

Sarvathaa dharma moolo arthah dharmascha artha parigrahah I
Itaretarayor neetau vihi megho dadhee yatahaa  II
Wealth must always have dharma as its foundation and dharma must have a proper object in view. Just as the clouds and the sea are inter-dependent, so are Dharma and Artha.

அத்திகிரி யருளாளப் பெருமாள் வந்தார்.....

முத்திமழை பொழியுமுகில் வண்ணர் வந்தார்
மூலமென வோலமிட வல்லார் வந்தார்..- Thiru chinna maalai

( Thiru chinnam-is a type of trumpet used in temple processions- Thiru chinna malai is a tamil work by Sri Vedanta Desika )

( Hearing the pathetic call of Gajendra,Lord Vishnu appeared to save him )

मूलं भुजंगैः शिखरं विहगैः शाखां प्लवगैः कुसुमानि भृंगैः ।
आश्चर्यमेतत् खलुचन्दनस्य परोपकाराय सतां विभूतयः ॥

Moolam bhujangaih shikharam vihagaih
shakhaam plavangaih kusumani bhrungaih I
Aascharyametat khalu chandanasya
paropakaaraaya satam vibhutayah  II
Sandal wood tree provides shelter to snakes at its root, birds rest on its top, monkeys play on its branches, and bees hover around its flowers. It is great, that saintly men offer helping hand, like the sandal wood tree, to others unmindful of their nature.

तृणानि नोन्मूलयति प्रभन्जनो मृदूनि नीचैः प्रणतानि सर्वतः ।
स्वभाव एवोन्नतचेतसामयं महान्महत्स्वेव करोति विक्रमम् ॥

The hurricane which can easily uproot the toughest and the tallest trees is yet unable to harm the grass growing on the ground . Likewise, the strong and the mighty do not trouble or bother the weak.

इह यत्क्रियते कर्म तत् परत्रोपभुज्यते I
सिक्तं मूलस्य वृक्षस्य फलं शाखासु दृश्यते II
Iha yatkriyate karma tat paratropabhujyate I
Siktam moolasya vrukshasya phalam shaakaasu drusyate II
In this world, whatever deeds we do, there results are seen elsewhere. (Just like) A tree on being watered at its roots its fruits are seen by its branches.

" Sita abandoning all comforts, impelled by the love towards husband not thinking about sorrows, entering forest unpopulated with humans, being happy with fruits and roots, devoted to the service of Her husband, even in forest is getting great happiness like in a palace, the one with golden limbs, always with a smiling talk, not suited to misfortunes - that this Sita is bearing all this suffering."  ( Hanuman seeing Sita at Ashoka vanam )
