येषां बाहुबलं नास्ति येषां नास्ति मनोबलम्

येषां बाहुबलं नास्ति येषां नास्ति मनोबलम्।

तेषां चन्द्रबलं देव किं कुर्यादम्बरस्थितम्॥

subhāṣitaśatake 3-28

=========

A valid poser..

Meaning

-----------

If people have no strength in their limbs and body (strength of hand)

If people have no strength of mind ( and character)

oh king, what can the stength of the moon as found in their horoscope could do to help them/

This is essentially an advice to all that we should spend our time in maintaining and strengthening the operational excellence of our bodies and that we should hone the capacity of our mind and intellect and refine our character, because our mind and body are always present with us within close call.

Anyway , it is far better than trying to find meaning and interpretation for the day to day happenings in our lives and trying to predict our future on the basis of the positioning an strenght of the moon and other planets which are far away..

To succeed in life, it is always better to depend on what we have ready access to rather than speculating on things which are far away and which are not in our control
