Aniruddha Pathak Poet Quatrain

Viable wisdom this

Half-baked unwise vouch no words pleasing,
One-- frank, plain-speaking knows no cheating,
Greedless longs for no governing chair, 
One-- desire-less aspires no pluming. 
_____________________________
Sanskrit Translation | 22.01.2026 | desire, frank, officer, wants, wise, quatrain

Note:  Some quatrains called shlokas in Sanskrit are known as Subhaashhitams, words well-said. This one presents some practical wisdom on half-baked unwise, frank persons, and those desire-less. Transliteration is as under:  
na avidagdhah  priyam brooyaat, 
      sphuta-vaktaa na vañchakah | 
nih-sprhah na  adhikaari  syaat,  
      na  a-kaamee  mandana  priyah || Subhaashhitam ||
