Niti Shataka 81 meaning
ratnair maharhais tutushur na deva na bhejire bheemavishena bheetim
sudham vina na paryayur viramam na nishchitarthad viramanti dheerah
रत्नैर्महार्हैस्तुतुषुर्न देवा न भेजिरे भीमविषेण भीतिम् ।
सुधां विना न पर्ययुर्विरामं न निश्चितार्थाद्विरमन्ति धीराः ॥
The gods were not satisfied by the priceless jewels from the churned ocean, nor were they frightened by its terrible poison; they did not stop until they got the nectar. The steadfast do not stop until they reach their goal.
What it means
On the way to a goal, you'll meet both tempting distractions and scary setbacks. Don't settle for shiny side-prizes, and don't quit when things turn toxic. Keep going until you reach what you set out for.हिंदी में अर्थ
समुद्र मंथन में मिले अनमोल रत्नों से देवता संतुष्ट नहीं हुए, न भयंकर विष से डरे; अमृत पाए बिना वे रुके नहीं। धीर लोग अपने लक्ष्य तक पहुँचे बिना नहीं रुकते।
लक्ष्य की राह में लुभावने भटकाव भी आएँगे और डरावनी रुकावटें भी। न चमकती चीज़ों पर रुकिए, न मुश्किलों से हारिए। जो ठाना है, वहाँ तक पहुँचिए।
Spoken by Bhartrihari.
