SUHRID BHEDA- SEPARATION OF FRIENDS-18

 SUBHASHITHANI:557

Damanaka, the fox is planting seeds of disaffection between the good friends lion and the bull. 

न सो ऽस्ति पुरुषो लोके यो न कामयते श्रियम् ।
परस्य युवतिं रम्यां सादरं नेक्षतेऽत्र कः ॥ १३१ ॥

na so 'sti puruṣo loke yo na kāmayate śriyam |
parasya yuvatiṃ ramyāṃ sādaraṃ nekṣate'tra kaḥ || 2.131 ||

There is no man in this world who does not desire wealth. Who doesn’t look wishfully at another man’s charming young wife?

कुर्वन्न् अपि व्यलीकानि यः प्रियः प्रिय एव सः ।
अशेष-दोष-दुष्टो ऽपि कायः कस्य न वल्लभः ॥ १३२ ॥

kurvann api vyalīkāni yaḥ priyaḥ priya eva saḥ |
aśeṣa-doṣa-duṣṭo 'pi kāyaḥ kasya na vallabhaḥ || 2.132 ||

In spite of being affected with many distempers, ailments or diseases, who does not love their own body? Although acting disagreeably or doing wrongs, a beloved person is ever a beloved person.

अप्रियाण्य् अपि कुर्वाणो यः प्रियः प्रिय एव सः ।
दग्ध-मन्दिर-सारेऽपि कस्य वह्नाव् अनादरः ॥ १३३ ॥

apriyāṇy api kurvāṇo yaḥ priyaḥ priya eva saḥ |
dagdha-mandira-sāre'pi kasya vahnāv anādaraḥ || 2.133 ||

Although acting in unpleasant manner a beloved is always beloved. Even if the fire burns ones own house, will any one feel disrespect for fire (agni).

यस्मिन्न् एवाधिकं चक्षुर् आरोहयति पार्थिवः ।
सुतेऽमात्येऽप्य् उदासीने स लक्ष्म्याश्रीयते जनः ॥ १३४ ॥

yasminn evādhikaṃ cakṣur ārohayati pārthivaḥ |
sute'mātye'py udāsīne sa lakṣmyāśrīyate janaḥ || 2.134 ||

He on whom the king casts his eyes, be a son, a minister, or on a stranger, is favoured by goddess of wealth.

अप्रियस्यापि पथ्यस्य परिणामः सुखावहः ।
वक्ता श्रोता च यत्रास्ति रमन्ते तत्र सम्पदः ॥ १३५ ॥

apriyasyāpi pathyasya pariṇāmaḥ sukhāvahaḥ |
vaktā śrotā ca yatrāsti ramante tatra sampadaḥ || 2.135 ||

The result of what is wholesome although unpalatable, brings happiness. Where there is a speaker and a listener when something unpleasant  but beneficial is said  there will be sure success.

मूल-भृत्यान् परित्यज्य नागन्तून् प्रतिमानयेत् ।
नातः परतरो दोषो राज्य-भेद-करो यतः ॥ १३६ ॥

mūla-bhṛtyān parityajya nāgantūn pratimānayet |
nātaḥ parataro doṣo rājya-bheda-karo yataḥ || 2.136 ||

Though a hereditary servant commits a fault a king should not encourage a stranger. There is no greater fault as calamitous to the kingdom than this.

दुर्जनो नार्जवं याति सेव्यमानो ऽपि नित्यशः ।
स्वेद-नाभ्यञ्जनोपायैः श्वपुच्छम् इव नामितम् ॥ १३७ ॥

durjano nārjavaṃ yāti sevyamāno 'pi nityaśaḥ |
sveda-nābhyañjanopāyaiḥ śvapuccham iva nāmitam || 2.137 ||

A wicked man returns to his evil ways even when assiduously well treated; just as a dog's tail resuming its natural bent not withstanding expedients like sweating and rubbing with unguents.
