လူတို့သည် ရာထူးဂုဏ်သိန်စည်းစိမ် ရှိသူကိုမှ အလေးထားတတ်ကြသည်။(ဇနာ = လူတို့သည်၊ ဂုဏဝန္တေ = ဂုဏ်ရှိသောသူတို့ကို၊ ပဿန္တိ = မြင်ကုန်၏)
The meaning is that people usually show respect and admiration to individuals with high status, wealth, prestige, or power.
Breakdown of the Pali words:
ဇနာ (Zanā): People
ဂုဏဝန္တေ (Guṇawanta): Those with virtues
ပဿန္တိ (Passanti): They see, they regard
Additional Notes: This phrase reflects a somewhat critical view of human nature, indicating that respect is often based on external factors such as social standing or wealth, rather than on a person’s true virtues or moral qualities.
