Fathers Day Sanskrit Quote

न सत्यं दानमानौ वा न यज्ञाश्चाप्तदक्षिणाः|

 तथा बलकराः सीते ! यथा सेवा पितुर्हिता ।।

रामायण में श्रीराम देवी सीता से कहते हैं – हे सीता! पिता की सेवा करना जिस प्रकार कल्याणकारी माना गया है; वैसा प्रबल साधन न सत्य है, न दान-सम्मान है और न प्रचुर दक्षिणावाले यज्ञ ही हैं ।

Shri Ram tells Devi Sita in the Ramayana – O Sita, it is believed that serving one’s father is more beneficial than truth, more beneficial than any charity and more beneficial than performing a sacrifice in which great donations are made.

                             वाल्मीकि रामायण – अयोध्या काण्ड| Valmiki Ramayana – Ayodhya Kanda
