উৎপত্তি ও কাহিনি

Hitopadesha (Subhashita) · Narayana Pandita (compiler of the Hitopadesha) · Classical Sanskrit literature (c. 9th–12th century CE)

The Hitopadesha teaches wisdom and statecraft through delightful animal fables interspersed with niti-shlokas. This verse, on the natural grouping of like with like, draws on familiar sights of the natural world to make its point about human friendship, and it has become one of the most quoted maxims on the importance of keeping good company.

শাস্ত্রে যেমন বলা হয়েছে

Wise elders often cite this verse to show that a person's destiny can be read from their friends; many a youth, it is said, has been turned from ruin to greatness simply by leaving foolish company and seeking out the wise, exactly as the shloka advises.

It means that deer associate with deer, cows with cows, horses with horses, fools with fools and the wise with the wise — because friendship naturally forms among those who share similar character and pursuits.
