सुभाषितम्‌

[Suneesh Namboodiri]

विद्या मित्रं प्रवासेषु भार्या मित्रं गृहेषु च ।

व्याधितस्यौषधं मित्रं धर्मो मित्रं मृतस्य च ।।

Skill is a man’s friend in a foreign land. A good natured wife is the man’s best friend.

Medicine is a sick man’s friend. And charitable deeds are one’s only friend after death.(15)
