Subhashita
A subhashita (Sanskrit: ) is a literary genre of Sanskrit epigrammatic poems and their message is an aphorism, maxim, advice, fact, truth, lesson or riddle.〔L. Sternbach (1973), Subhashita - A forgotten chapter in the histories of Sanskrit literature, in Indologica Taurinensia, Torino, Vol I, pp. 169-254〕 ''Su'' in Sanskrit means good; ''bhashita'' means spoken; which together literally means well spoken or eloquent saying.〔(subhASita ) Sanskrit English Dictionary, University of Koeln, Germany〕
Subhashitas in Sanskrit are short memorable verses, typically in four ''padas'' (verses) but sometimes just two, but their structure follows a meter. Subhashitas are one of many forms of creative works that have survived from ancient and medieval era of India, and sometimes known as ''Suktis''.〔 Ancient and medieval Indian literature created tens of thousands of subhashitas covering a vast range of subjects.〔Kashinath Sharma (1952), (Subhashita Ratna Bhandagara - A collection of over 10,000 subhasitas ), Nirnaya Sagar Press〕
== Philosophy ==
Subhashitas are known for their inherent moral and ethical advice, instructions in worldly wisdom and guidance in making righteous deeds. Subhashitas create an appeal as the inherent message is conveyed through poems which quote practical examples which are often rhythmic in nature. Some authors even relate Subhashitas to sugar coated bitter medicines considering their worthiness.〔
The subhashita deals with various subjects and includes topics of day to day experiences that every one can easily relate to.〔 A subhashita is always eloquent in form, structured in a poetical form, complete in itself and concisely depicts a single emotion, idea, dharma, truth or situation.〔
