Subhashitas

Here are some subhashitas from Mahabharata, translated from “рд╕рд╛рд░реНрдерд╢реНрд░реАрдорд╣рд╛рднрд╛рд░рддрд╕реБрднрд╛рд╖рд┐рддрд╛рдирд┐” of Vishnu Vinayak Paranjpe published in 1931 by M/s Keshav Bhikaji Dhawale of Girgaon, Mumbai

From Mahabharata Adiparva

Any work started at a wrong time will not bear fruit. The same work started at the right time are said to bring to the doer great results.

Those kings who do not protect the people are thieves who rob people of one sixth of their income in the form of tax. Such kings and the wealthy who do not do charity inspite of their capacity to do it will go to Hell after death.

A man who has been cremated (after death) is followed only by his karma (both good and bad). So, man ought to make effort to gradually accumulate merit (by performing good actions).

    Dear Brothers,
    Can anybody tell me where can I get all the 18 puranas in pdf form. If not available at least give me link for Bhavishya Purana, I want to read original text. I am totally confused as many of the muslim organizations are providing it as reference to prove their prophet.

  12. Raghuraman says:

    I read recently from a Tamil Magazine about work by Sabdhartha Chinthamani, the work by Chidamabra kavi. This work is available in Saraswathi Mahal Library, Thanjavur, in palm leaf. When this manuscript is read in normal form it is Ramayana. When read from last leaf in reverse like urudu, it is Mahabharatha. It is very amazing to even hear about such possibility. Where can I get hard copy of it or even a soft copy in any web? Help me please.

  39. Jacqui says:

    Hi I once read a story about men devotees studying with a monk. After years of hardship and wandering in the wilderness and many trials the monk sent them out into the world. He said to them I have prepared you for everything you may encounter in the world but beware of woman …… I cannot remember the end. But Sanskrit word woman translated to “creature with soft horns on her chest”. Is this correct?

    It is very good to see noble or great persons (in our life), It is very good or better to listen their speeches or words/noble sayings (Should follow).It’s better to appreciate their virtues, and it is a good moment to be friendship or fellowship with noble people.
