Hitopadesha 2.17 meaning
n-akale mriyate jantur viddhah sharashatair api
kush-agren-aiva sansprishtah praptakalo na jeevati
नाकाले म्रियते जन्तुर्विद्धः शरशतैरपि।
कुशाग्रेणैव संस्पृष्टः प्राप्तकालो न जीवति॥
No creature dies before its time, even when pierced by a hundred arrows. But when its time has come, even the touch of a blade of grass is enough.
What it means
Fear of death often shapes how we live. Taking reasonable care matters, but much is outside our control. Release that fear a little, and spend your energy living fully.हिंदी में अर्थ
कोई प्राणी समय से पहले नहीं मरता, चाहे सौ बाण लगे हों। और जब समय आ जाए, तो कुश की नोक का छूना भी काफ़ी है।
मौत का डर अक्सर जीवन को चलाने लगता है। सावधानी ज़रूरी है, पर बहुत कुछ हमारे बस में नहीं। डर छोड़ो, जीवन पूरी तरह जियो।
Spoken by Narayana Pandit.
