Subhashitas Subhashita 217 meaning
karav iva shareerasya netrayor iva pakshmanee
avicharya priyam kuryat tan mitram mitram uchyate
कराविव शरीरस्य नेत्रयोरिव पक्ष्मणी ।
अविचार्य प्रियं कुर्यात् तन्मित्रं मित्रमुच्यते ॥
Like the hands for the body and the eyelids for the eyes, the one who does you good without stopping to think — that is called a true friend.
What it means
Your hand doesn't weigh pros and cons before catching you when you trip; your eyelid blinks before the dust arrives. A real friend protects you instinctively, without calculating what they gain. Be that kind of friend.हिंदी में अर्थ
जैसे हाथ शरीर की और पलकें आँखों की बिना सोचे रक्षा करते हैं, वैसे ही जो बिना सोचे-विचारे भला करे, वही सच्चा मित्र है।
ठोकर लगने पर हाथ सोचता नहीं, तुरंत संभालता है; पलक धूल आने से पहले झपक जाती है। सच्चा मित्र भी बिना हिसाब लगाए आपकी रक्षा करता है।
