The Sleeping Lion
Panchatantra
उद्यमेन हि सिध्यंति कार्याणि न मनोरथैः।
न हि सुप्तस्य सिंहस्य विशंति वदने मृगाः
Meaning · English
Work is done by effort, not by wishes. Deer do not walk into the mouth of a sleeping lion.
अर्थ · हिन्दी
काम मेहनत से होते हैं, मनोरथों से नहीं। सोते हुए शेर के मुँह में हिरन खुद नहीं आ जाते।
