Mahabharata 3.313.133 meaning
yasya terthach cha kamach cha anrishansyam param matam
tasmat te bhratarah sarve jeevantu bharatarshabha
यस्य तेऽर्थाच्च कामाच्च आनृशंस्यं परं मतम्।
तस्मात्ते भ्रातरः सर्वे जीवन्तु भरतर्षभ॥
Since for you kindness ranks above both wealth and desire, let all your brothers live, best of the Bharatas.
What it means
Choosing kindness over advantage did not cost Yudhishthira; it brought everyone back. Life does not always reward goodness this neatly, but integrity tends to restore more than it loses.हिंदी में अर्थ
क्योंकि तुम्हारे लिए दया धन और इच्छा दोनों से ऊपर है, इसलिए हे भरतश्रेष्ठ, तुम्हारे सभी भाई जीवित हों।
फ़ायदे से ऊपर दया चुनने से युधिष्ठिर ने कुछ नहीं खोया, सब वापस मिल गया। जीवन हमेशा इतना साफ़ इनाम नहीं देता, पर ईमानदारी खोती कम और लौटाती ज़्यादा है।
Spoken by Yaksha.
