सुभाषितम्

वनानि दहतो वह्नेः सखा भवति मारुतः।

Sanskrit Proverb on Friendship
Sanskrit

वनानि दहतो वह्नेः सखा भवति मारुतः।
स एव दीपनाशाय कृशे कस्यास्ति सौहृदम्॥

vanāni dahato vahneḥ sakhā bhavati mārutaḥ।
sa eva dīpanāśāya kṛśe kasyāsti sauhṛdam॥

Meaning in English

When the forest is consumed by a strong fire, the wind becomes its friend. However, the same wind extinguishes a ‘deepa’ (small diya), meaning, nobody generally likes to be friends with a weak person.

भावार्थ

वन में जब आग लगती है, तब (वायु) वहती हवा उसका मित्र बन जाती है। परंतु वही हवा छोटे दीप को बुझा देती है उसी तरह कमज़ोर व्यक्ति से कौन मित्रता करता है?
