Hitopadesha 1.63 meaning
atithir yasya bhagnasho grihat pratinivartate
sa dattva dushkritam tasmai punyam adaya gachchati
अतिथिर्यस्य भग्नाशो गृहात्प्रतिनिवर्तते।
स दत्त्वा दुष्कृतं तस्मै पुण्यमादाय गच्छति॥
When a guest leaves a home with hopes crushed, he leaves behind his own bad deeds for the host and walks away carrying the host's good merit.
What it means
Turning away someone who came to you in hope costs more than you think. A little warmth, a meal or a kind word given at the right time is never wasted.हिंदी में अर्थ
जिस घर से मेहमान निराश होकर लौटता है, वह अपने पाप उस घर वाले को देकर उसका पुण्य लेकर चला जाता है।
आशा लेकर आए किसी को खाली हाथ लौटाना जितना सोचते हो उससे महँगा है। सही समय पर थोड़ी गर्मजोशी कभी व्यर्थ नहीं जाती।
Spoken by Narayana Pandit.
