निचला होंठ चबाता हुआ, क्रोधित, कठोर बोलने वाला: ऐसे व्यक्ति को कौन देखना भी चाहेगा, भले ही वह पूरी पृथ्वी देने को तैयार हो?
Meaning today and contextआज के लिए अर्थ और संदर्भ
No amount of wealth makes harshness and anger attractive. People are drawn to warmth, not to riches.
कितना भी धन कठोरता और क्रोध को आकर्षक नहीं बनाता। लोग गर्मजोशी की ओर खिंचते हैं, धन की ओर नहीं।
Mahabharata 12.170.15: Shamyaka, as Bhishma reports his words (the canonical speaker is Bhishma) continues: biting his lower lip, angry, harsh in speech, who would want even to look at such a man, even if he offered the whole earth?
