Right things in wrong hands

What’s fond food to pigs and donkeys? What use jewels to beasts, birds and bees? Music to deaf, lamp to the blind, In scriptures what the fools would find? __________________________ Translation |12.10.2024| food, jewels, birds, music, fools Poet’s note: Sanskrit has thousands of verses of wisdom called Subhashhitam. It is no use discussing scriptures to fools. It is like the choicest food to pigs and donkeys, jewels to birds and bees, lamp to blind, and music to deaf. The transliteration of the Sanskrit verse follows: Kim ishtam annam khara sookaraanaam, kim ratna-haarah mriga pakshhinaam cha | Andhasyam deepah, badhirasyam geetam, moorkhasyam kim shaastra kathaa prasangah ||
