लोके षडेतानि विडम्बितानि॥



मूर्खो द्विजातिः स्थिविरो गृहस्तः
कामी दरिद्रो धनवान् तपस्वी।
वेश्या कुरूपा नृपतिः कदर्य्यः
लोके षडेतानि विडम्बितानि॥
सुभाषितमञ्जुषायाम्॥
mūrkho dvijātiḥ sthiviro gṛhastaḥ
kāmī daridro dhanavān tapasvī|
veśyā kurūpā nṛpatiḥ kadaryyaḥ
loke ṣaḍetāni viḍambitāni||
subhāṣitamañjuṣāyām||
