Hitopadesha 1.120 meaning

yasy-arthas tasya mitrani yasy-arthas tasya bandhavah yasy-arthah sa pumanl loke yasy-arthah sa hi panditah
यस्यार्थास्तस्य मित्राणि यस्यार्थास्तस्य बान्धवाः। यस्यार्थाः स पुमाँल्लोके यस्यार्थाः स हि पण्डितः॥

Whoever has money has friends; whoever has money has relatives. Whoever has money is counted as a real man in the world, and whoever has money is even called wise.

What it means
A sharp observation, not an ideal: money attracts attention and fake respect. Know this so you are not fooled by friends who gather in good times, and value those who stay when money is gone.

हिंदी में अर्थ

जिसके पास धन है, उसी के मित्र हैं, उसी के रिश्तेदार हैं। जिसके पास धन है, वही दुनिया में कुछ है, और वही विद्वान भी कहलाता है।

यह आदर्श नहीं, कड़वा सच है: पैसा झूठा सम्मान खींचता है। अच्छे दिनों की भीड़ से धोखा मत खाओ, बुरे दिनों में साथ देने वालों को पहचानो।

Spoken by Narayana Pandit.
