Mahabharata 12.258.22 meaning
muchyate bandhanat pushpam phalam vrintat pramuchyate
klishyann api sutasnehaih pita sneham na munchati
मुच्यते बन्धनात्पुष्पं फलं वृन्तात्प्रमुच्यते।
क्लिश्यन्नपि सुतस्नेहैः पिता स्नेहं न मुञ्चति॥
A flower drops from its stem and a fruit falls from its stalk, but a father, even when troubled by his children, never lets go of his love for them.
What it means
Children may drift away or cause pain, yet a father's love keeps holding on. Remember this when you are tempted to take your parents for granted. Their bond with you does not detach the way you might.हिंदी में अर्थ
फूल अपनी डाली से छूट जाता है और फल अपने डंठल से गिर जाता है, पर पिता संतान से कष्ट पाकर भी उनसे स्नेह नहीं छोड़ता।
बच्चे दूर हो जाएँ या दुख दें, फिर भी पिता का प्रेम पकड़े रहता है। जब माता-पिता को हल्के में लेने का मन करे, तो यह याद रखो।
Spoken by Chirakari.
