Mahabharata 5.33.45 meaning
ekah svadu na bhunjeeta ekash charthan na chintayet
eko na gachched adhvanam naikah supteshu jagriyat
एकः स्वादु न भुञ्जीत एकश्चार्थान्न चिन्तयेत्।
एको न गच्छेदध्वानं नैकः सुप्तेषु जागृयात्॥
Do not eat a delicious meal alone. Do not think through important matters alone. Do not travel a road alone. Do not stay awake alone while everyone else sleeps.
What it means
Life is better and safer shared. Share good food, talk big decisions through with someone you trust, and don't carry every burden by yourself. Company is both joy and protection.हिंदी में अर्थ
स्वादिष्ट भोजन अकेले न खाएँ, ज़रूरी मामलों पर अकेले विचार न करें, अकेले रास्ते पर न चलें, और सबके सोते हुए अकेले न जागें।
जीवन साथ में ज़्यादा अच्छा और सुरक्षित है। अच्छा खाना बाँटिए, बड़े फैसलों पर किसी भरोसेमंद से बात कीजिए, हर बोझ अकेले मत उठाइए।
