 SUBHASHITHANI:583

जायन्ते च म्रियन्ते च मद्-विधाः क्षुद्र-जन्तवः ।
अनेन सदृशो लोके न भूतो न भविष्यति ॥ १०३ ॥

jāyante ca mriyante ca mad-vidhāḥ kṣudra-jantavaḥ |
anena sadṛśo loke na bhūto na bhaviṣyati || 3.103 ||

Insignificant men like me are born and die; but men like Viravara have not been there nor there will be.

प्रियं ब्रूयाद् अकृपणः शूरः स्याद् अविकत्थनः ।
दाता नापात्र-वर्षी च प्रगल्भः स्याद् अनिष्ठुरः ॥ १०४ ॥
priyaṃ brūyād akṛpaṇaḥ śūraḥ syād avikatthanaḥ |
dātā nāpātra-varṣī ca pragalbhaḥ syād aniṣṭhuraḥ || 3.104 ||
The generous should speak kindly, the valiant should desist from boasting, the liberal should ensure his bounty is not for the unworthy, and the brave should not be harsh.

यो ऽकार्यं कार्यवच् छास्ति स किं मन्त्री नृपेच्छया ।
वरं स्वामि-मनो-दुःखं तन्-नाशो न त्व् अकार्यतः ॥ १०५ ॥
yo 'kāryaṃ kāryavac chāsti sa kiṃ mantrī nṛpecchayā |
varaṃ svāmi-mano-duḥkhaṃ tan-nāśo na tv akāryataḥ || 3.105 ||
Is he a minister who advises the king, just to please him, to do what ought not tobe done? It is better to wound his feelings rather than bring his destruction by advising him to do what should not be done.

वैद्यो गुरुश् च मन्त्री च यस्य राज्ञः प्रियंवदाः ।
शरीर-धर्म-कोशेभ्यः क्षिप्रं स परिहीयते ॥ १०६ ॥

vaidyo guruś ca mantrī ca yasya rājñaḥ priyaṃvadāḥ |
śarīra-dharma-kośebhyaḥ kṣipraṃ sa parihīyate || 3.106 ||

If the physician, spiritual guide, minister are flatterers of the king, soon he will lose his health, virtue and treasure.

पुण्याल् लब्धं यद् एकेन तन् ममापि भविष्यति ।
हत्वा भिक्षुं यतो मोहान् निध्य्-अर्थी नापितो हतः ॥ १०७ ॥

puṇyāl labdhaṃ yad ekena tan mamāpi bhaviṣyati |
hatvā bhikṣuṃ yato mohān nidhy-arthī nāpito hataḥ || 3.107 ||

“What has been obtained by merit by some one . that can be achieved by me too”. A barber, out of greed, coveting a treasure, lost his life for killing a mendicant.

पुरावृत्त-कथोद्गारैः कथं निर्णीयते परः ।
स्यान् निष्कारण-बन्धुर् वा किं वा विश्वास-घातकः ॥ १०८ ॥

purāvṛtta-kathodgāraiḥ kathaṃ nirṇīyate paraḥ |
syān niṣkāraṇa-bandhur vā kiṃ vā viśvāsa-ghātakaḥ || 3.108 ||

How can we judge a stranger, by narrating stories of the past, whether he is a friend or a traitor?

लुब्धः क्रूरो ऽलसो ऽसत्यः प्रमादी भीरुर् अस्थिरः ।
मूढो योधावमन्ता च सुख-च्छेद्यो रिपुः स्मृतः ॥ १०९ ॥

lubdhaḥ krūro 'laso 'satyaḥ pramādī bhīrur asthiraḥ |
mūḍho yodhāvamantā ca sukha-cchedyo ripuḥ smṛtaḥ || 3.109 ||

Greedy, cruel, lazy, untruthful, careless, cowardly, wavering, foolish, despiser of soldiers, can be easily destroyed.
