Valmiki Ramayana 3.39.11 meaning
rajyam palayitum shakyam na teekshnena nishachara
na chapi pratikoolena navineetena rakshasa
राज्यं पालयितुं शक्यं न तीक्ष्णेन निशाचर।
न चापि प्रतिकूलेन नाविनीतेन राक्षस॥
A kingdom cannot be governed by someone harsh, nor by someone who works against his people, nor by someone without humility.
What it means
Running anything with people in it, a home, team or country, needs gentleness, goodwill and humility. Harshness and arrogance may work briefly, but they cannot sustain a group for long.हिंदी में अर्थ
राज्य को न कठोर व्यक्ति चला सकता है, न प्रजा के ख़िलाफ़ चलने वाला, और न ही विनयहीन व्यक्ति।
लोगों से जुड़ा कोई भी काम, घर, टीम या देश, कोमलता, सद्भाव और विनम्रता से ही चलता है। कठोरता और घमंड कुछ दिन चलते हैं, लंबे समय तक नहीं।
Spoken by Maricha.
