🎯Today’s Wisdom👉
🌹
तच्च दद्यान्नरो नित्यं
यदीच्छेद् भूतिमात्मनः॥
धन्यं यशस्यमायुष्यं
जलदानमिहोच्यते ।
शत्रूंश्चाप्यधि कौन्तेय
सदा तिष्ठति तोयदः ॥
★Mahabharat, Anushasan Parva 67
Translation: “He who wishes his own welfare should daily give water; for giving water is said to increase wealth, fame, and longevity. O son of Kunti, the giver of water ever resides in heaven above his enemies.”
