Translations

English Translation

This shloka highlights the consequences of individuals entrenched in hatred and anger, who are excluded from righteous behavior. It suggests that their sweet words hide fierce intentions, comparable to water drawn from a well covered with grass, which could be deceptive in appearance while leading to harmful actions.

हिंदी अनुवाद

यह श्लोक उन व्यक्तियों के परिणामों को उजागर करता है जो घृणा और क्रोध में ढले हुए हैं, और जो सदाचारी व्यवहार से बहिष्कृत होते हैं। यह सुझाव देता है कि उनके मधुर शब्द भयानक इरादों को छिपाते हैं, जो घास से ढके हुए कुएँ के पानी के समान हो सकता है, जो दिखने में धोखाधड़ी में लिपटा है और हानिकारक कार्यों की ओर ले जाता है।
