Subhashitas Subhashita 222 meaning

ददाति प्रतिगृह्णाति गुह्यमाख्याति पृच्छति । भुङ्क्ते भोजयते चैव षड्विधं प्रीतिलक्षणम् ॥

Giving and receiving, sharing secrets and asking about them, eating together and feeding each other — these are the six signs of affection.

What it means
Friendship isn't one-way. It's a rhythm of give and take: gifts, confidences and meals shared in both directions. If only one person always gives or always listens, the bond needs some attention.

हिंदी में अर्थ

देना और लेना, मन की बात कहना और पूछना, साथ खाना और खिलाना — ये प्रेम के छह लक्षण हैं।

मित्रता एकतरफ़ा नहीं होती। यह लेन-देन की लय है: उपहार, भरोसे की बातें और भोजन दोनों ओर से। अगर एक ही हमेशा दे, तो रिश्ते पर ध्यान दीजिए।
