Episode 238 - To Dhananand, when he warns Alexander against flying too close to the sun:
Tumhe lagta hai tum sooraj ho? Mujhe to parchhayi lagte ho.
Ek baat achhe se yaad rakhna, Dhananand, ke jab sooraaj aasmaan mein neeche hota hai to parchhaayi bohot badi banti hai.
Aur jaise jaise woh oopar jaata hai to parchhaayi chhoti, bohot chhoti hone lagti hai.
Aur jab woh aasman mein tumhaare sar par aata hai to parchhayi ghaayab.
Sooraj tum nahin, woh Porus hai, jo dheere dheere aage badh raha hai. Aur jaise jaise woh aage badhega, tumhara rasook neeche aata jaayega.
Aur phir na tum rahoge, na Magadh. Tum usse bade the, par uski madad karne ke baad tum uske baraabar ho jaoge.
Yeh jung bhale hi tumhaari ho, par jeet to Porus ki maani jaayegi. Aur tum aage badkar apne hi taaboot mein keelein thok rahe ho.
You think you are the sun? You seem to be a shadow to me.
Remember this well, Dhananand, that when the sun is low in the sky a large shadow forms.
(alternatively: Keep one thing in mind, Dhananand. When the sun is closest to the horizon, it creates the longest shadows).
And as the sun rises in the sky, the shadow starts to become small, very small.
(alternatively: And the further it goes from the horizon, the smaller the shadow gets).
And when it (the sun) is above your head in the sky, the shadow disappears.
(alternatively: And when the sun is right above you, the shadow disappears.)
It is not you, but Porus who is the sun, who is gradually rising. The higher he will ascend, the lower your influence will become.
(alternatively: You are not the sun. It is Porus. And he is slowing moving forward. And the further he goes, your importance will keep diminishing).
And then neither will you remain, nor will Magadh. You were greater than him, but after helping him, you will be equal to him.
This war might be yours, but it will be considered Porus' victory. By going ahead you are putting the nail in your own coffin.
(alternatively: This war might be yours but Porus will be considered the victor. And you are digging you own grave.)
