12.288.22 Hamsa to The Sadhyas

यः सर्वेषां भवति ह्यर्चनीय उत्सेचने स्तम्भ इवाभिजातः । यस्मै वाचं सुप्रशस्तां वदन्ति स वै देवान्गच्छति संयतात्मा ॥

yaḥ sarveṣāṃ bhavati hyarcanīya utsecane stambha ivābhijātaḥ | yasmai vācaṃ supraśastāṃ vadanti sa vai devāngacchati saṃyatātmā ||

One who is worthy of honour from all, like a well-made pillar raised at a festival, and of whom people speak in the highest praise: that self-controlled person goes to the gods.

जो उत्सव में खड़े सुंदर स्तंभ की तरह सबके लिए पूजनीय होता है, और जिसके बारे में लोग उत्तम प्रशंसा के वचन कहते हैं, वह संयमी पुरुष देवलोक को जाता है।

Meaning today and contextआज के लिए अर्थ और संदर्भ

Lasting respect comes from steady character, not from seeking attention. People speak well of someone who holds themselves in check.

स्थायी सम्मान स्थिर चरित्र से आता है, ध्यान खींचने से नहीं। लोग उसी की प्रशंसा करते हैं जो स्वयं पर संयम रखता है।

Mahabharata 12.288.22. The Swan: one who is honoured by all, like a fine festival pillar, and whom people speak well of, being self-controlled, goes to the gods.
