Mahabharata 5.33.40 meaning
ekah sampannam ashnati vaste vasash cha shobhanam
yosanvibhajya bhrityebhyah ko nrishansataras tatah
एकः संपन्नमश्नाति वस्ते वासश्च शोभनम्।
योऽसंविभज्य भृत्येभ्यः को नृशंसतरस्ततः॥
He eats fine food alone and wears fine clothes, without sharing with those who depend on him. Who could be more heartless than that?
What it means
Success that is enjoyed alone is hollow. The people who work with you, support you or depend on you deserve a share of the good times. Generosity keeps both hearts and teams together.हिंदी में अर्थ
जो अपने आश्रितों को हिस्सा दिए बिना अकेला बढ़िया खाना खाता है और अच्छे कपड़े पहनता है — उससे ज़्यादा निर्दयी कौन होगा?
अकेले भोगी गई सफलता खोखली होती है। जो आपके साथ काम करते हैं या आप पर निर्भर हैं, अच्छे दिनों में उनका भी हिस्सा है।
