यस्य वाण्यास्ति मधुरा तस्येव सफलं तपः|
नोचेज्जीवन्ति पशवोप्पनिशं पुष्टिशालिनः||
जो व्यक्ति मधुर वचन बोलता है उसको अपनी तपस्या (किये गये विभिन्न कार्यों ) में अवश्य सफलता प्राप्त होती है, अन्यथा पशु भी तो सदैव अपनी जीवित रहने की इच्छाशक्ति के बल पर जीवन यापन करते हैं |
A person who speaks with eloquence in a pleasing manner, all the penance he undergoes while doing his duties, always brings fruitful results to him. Otherwise animals too thrive by their instinct to remain alive.
*(This Subhashita deals with eloquence of speech, which faculty differentiates a man from an animal and makes him superior among all living beings. If a person uses harsh and foul language while speaking to others, it results in failure in even those tasks which would have otherwise been accomplished. This is the hidden message in this Subhashita.)*
