Pasya means "just see". buddhiƒ-intelligence; yasya-who; balaˆ-strength; tasya-he; nirbuddhes-devoid of intelligence; tu-certainly; kutaƒ-where; balam-strength; paya-just see; siˆhaƒ-lion; mada-by pride; unmataƒ-maddened; aakena-a rabbit; nip€titaƒ-thrown down or killed. ....and without diacritics: buddhih-intelligence; yasya-who; balam-strength; tasya-he; nirbuddhes-devoid of intelligence; tu-certainly; kutah-where; balam-strength; pasya-just see; simhah-lion; mada-by pride; unmatah-maddened; sasakena-a rabbit; nipatitah-thrown down or killed. Complete translation: One who has intelligence has strength. But where is the strength in one that is devoid of intelligence? Just see, (even) a rabbit killed a proud lion.
