Shloka (श्लोक)
नात्माधीनॊ मनुष्यॊ ऽयं कालं भवति कं चन
सरॊतसॊ मध्यम आपन्नः कूलाद वृक्श इव चयुतः
⚡ Quick Meaning
A human being is not under his own control; he is like a tree uprooted from the bank of a river.
📖 Translations
English Translation
This shloka emphasizes that a person in this world is subject to the influence of time and circumstances. Just like a tree can be uprooted and swept away by a river’s current, so too can a human being be swayed by fate and destiny, losing autonomy in dire situations.
हिंदी अनुवाद
यह श्लोक इस बात पर जोर देता है कि एक व्यक्ति इस संसार में समय और परिस्थितियों के प्रभाव में होता है। जैसे एक वृक्ष को नदी की धारा द्वारा उखाड़ा जा सकता है, वैसे ही एक मानव भी भाग्य और नियति के द्वारा प्रभावित हो सकता है, गंभीर परिस्थितियों में अपनी स्वतंत्रता खो देता है।
