The
importance of Subhashitas=Wise Sayings:-
Bhāṣhāsu mukhyā madhurā divyā gīrvāṇabhāratī|
Thatrāpi kāvyaṃ madhuraṃ tasmādapi subhāṣitam||
Of all the languages, Sanskrit is the important one,
sweet, divine and most lyrical language of even the gods. In Sanskrit, poetry
is more melodious wherein the good sayings hold prime position.
Draakshaa Mlaanamukhee
jaathaa Sarkaraa chaasmathaangathaa l
Subhaashitharasam
dhrushtvaa Sudhaa bheethaa Divam gathaa ll
Here the poet describes the supremacy of Subhashitas.
On this earth the RASA (implied meaning) of subhashitas is so sweet that the
grapes felt ashamed (of its sweetness) and crestfallen. The sweeter sugar got
hard (Asma - stone) and the sweetest AMRITA (nectar) pulled itself back to the
heaven.
Just we can find a few Subhashitas speak
about the fools and their ignorance, according to Bhartruharin:-
Ajnas Sukham Aaraadhyah
Sukhatharam Aaraadhyathe Viseshajnah l
Jnaanalava-Dhurvidhagdham
Brahmaapi tham Naram na ranjayathi ll1ll
An ignorant person can easily be satisfied; a person
having competent knowledge can more easily be satisfied; but a person proud of
his mearge learning cannot be satisfied even by the Creator.
Svaayatham Ekaanthagunam Vidhaathraa
Vinirmitham Chaadhanam Ajnathaayaah l
Viseshathas sarvavidhaam Samaaje
Vibhooshanam Mounam Apandithaanaam ll2ll
The Creator has created the silence as a certain and
self-dependent covering of ignorance which especially in an assembly of learned
men, becomes an ornament.
SaahithyaSangeethaKalaa viheenah
Saakshaath pasuf puccha-vishaana-heenah l
Thrunam na khaadhannapi jeevamaanah
Thadh bhaagadheyam paramam pasoonaam ll3ll
A person, having no knowledge of Literature, Music and
(Fine) Arts is in really an animal without tail and horns; it is to the extreme
good luck of (actual) animals that he lives without eating grass.
