Survival lies in strength: Sanskrit Wisdom - 7

Ashvam naiva gajam naiva vyaaghram naiva cha naiva cha |

Ajaapu~M bailaM dVat\ dovaao duba-laGaatk: aa


Explanation
Not the horse, nor the elephant, nor the tiger; it is the lamb that is sacrificed in a ritual. 
The weak has no protection (survival lies in strength).
