Subhashitas Subhashita 71 meaning
aho bhavati sadrishyam mridangasya cha khalasya cha
yavan mukhagatau tau hi tavan madhurabhashinau
अहो भवति सादृश्यं मृदङ्गस्य च खलस्य च ।
यावन्मुखगतौ तौ हि तावन्मधुरभाषिणौ ॥
How alike a drum and a scoundrel are! Both sound sweet only as long as something keeps their mouths filled.
What it means
Some people are pleasant only while they are getting something from you. Their sweetness stops when the benefits stop. Value friends whose kind words do not depend on what you can give them.हिंदी में अर्थ
मृदंग और दुष्ट में कितनी समानता है! दोनों तभी तक मीठा बोलते हैं जब तक उनके मुँह में कुछ भरा रहता है।
कुछ लोग तभी तक मीठे रहते हैं जब तक उन्हें आपसे कुछ मिल रहा हो। फ़ायदा रुका तो मिठास भी रुकी। उन दोस्तों की कद्र कीजिए जिनकी नरमी लेन-देन पर नहीं टिकी।
