न स सखा यो न ददाति सख्ये सचाभुवे सचमानाय पित्वः |

हिन्दी में भावार्थ

वह सखा मित्र नहीं है, जो साथ रहनेवाले और सेवा करनेवाले सखा को अन्न नहीं देता है (उसकी सहायता नहीं करता है)|

Meaning in English

One who does not provide for (help) the friend who one lives with or is beholden to, is not a friend.

Transliteration in Roman Script

na sa sakhā yo na dadāti sakhye sacābhuve sacamānāya pitvaḥ |

ऋग्वेद १०.११७.४ | Rigveda 10.117.4

Our readers will notice the similarity between this subhashita from the ancient Rigveda (quote from the Rigveda) and the proverb that we hear quite often – A friend in need is a friend indeed. The message is loud and clear – one should not leave any stone unturned in helping friends. Always help your friends.
