Mahabharata 1.82.12 meaning
na h-eedrisham sanvananam trishu lokeshu vidyate
yatha maitree cha bhooteshu danam cha madhura cha vak
न हीदृशं संवननं त्रिषु लोकेषु विद्यते।
यथा मैत्री च भूतेषु दानं च मधुरा च वाक्॥
There is no better way to win hearts in all three worlds than friendliness toward all beings, generosity, and gentle speech.
What it means
You do not need power or tricks to win people over. Being warm, giving freely and speaking kindly opens more doors than anything else. These three never fail.हिंदी में अर्थ
तीनों लोकों में दिलों को जीतने का इससे अच्छा कोई उपाय नहीं: सब प्राणियों से मित्रता, दान और मीठी वाणी।
लोगों का दिल जीतने के लिए ताक़त या चालाकी नहीं चाहिए। अपनापन, उदारता और मीठे बोल हर दरवाज़ा खोल देते हैं।
Spoken by Yayati.
