abhayaṃ sarvabhūtebhyaḥ sarveṣāmabhayaṃ yataḥ | namasyaḥ sarvabhūtānāṃ dānto bhavati jñānavān ||
One from whom all beings are safe, and who has no fear from any of them: such a self-controlled, knowing person is honoured by all beings.
जिससे सब प्राणी निर्भय हैं, और जिसे किसी से भय नहीं, ऐसा संयमी और ज्ञानवान पुरुष सब प्राणियों के लिए वंदनीय होता है।
Meaning today and contextआज के लिए अर्थ और संदर्भ
When no one needs to be afraid of us, we have little to fear from them. Being safe for others is a kind of freedom for ourselves.
जब किसी को हमसे डरने की ज़रूरत न हो, तो हमें भी उनसे कम डर रहता है। दूसरों के लिए सुरक्षित होना अपने लिए एक स्वतंत्रता है।
Mahabharata 12.213.14: Bhishma says the self-controlled, knowing person is one whom no being fears and who fears no one, and so is honoured by all.
