Unsteady House
Chanakya Niti 5.20
चला लक्ष्मीश्चलाः प्राणाश्चले जीवितमन्दिरे ।
चलाचले च संसारे धर्म एको हि निश्चलः
Meaning · English
Wealth is unsteady, breath is unsteady, the house of life is unsteady. In a shaky world only dharma stands still.
अर्थ · हिन्दी
धन चंचल है, साँसें चंचल हैं, जीवन का घर भी डगमगाता है। इस हिलते-डुलते संसार में बस धर्म ही अटल है।
