Introduction
Chanakya Neeti is a treatise on the ideal way of life and shows Chanakya’s deep study of the Indian way of life. Chanakya is regarded as a great thinker and diplomat in India. The book portrays about his ideologies and ideas in diverse situations, which are pertinent even to today’s times. The topics discussed in this book are morality, ethics, governance and several others.
Chanakya, traditionally known as Kautilya or Vishnu Gupta, was an Indian teacher, philosopher, economist, jurist and royal advisor. He wrote the ‘Arthashastra’, an ancient Indian political treatise. Considered a pioneer in the field of Political Science and Economics in India, his works, lost towards the end of the Gupta Empire, were fortunately rediscovered in 1915. He played a crucial role in the establishment and expansion of the Mauryan Empire.
Chapter 1
05.jpg1
Humbly bowing down before the almighty Lord Sri Vishnu, the Lord of the three worlds, I recite maxims of the science of political ethics (niti) selected from the various scriptures (shaastras).
2
That man who by the study of these maxims from the shaastras acquires a knowledge of the most celebrated principles of duty, and understands what ought and what ought not to be followed, and what is good and what is bad, is most excellent.
3
Therefore, with an eye to the public good, I shall speak that which, when understood, will lead to an understanding of things in their proper perspective.
4
Even a pandit comes to grief by giving instruction to a foolish disciple, by maintaining a wicked wife, and by excessive familiarity with the miserable.
5
A wicked wife, a false friend, a saucy servant and living in a house with a serpent in it are nothing but death.
6
One should save his money against hard times, save his wife at the sacrifice of his riches, but invariably one should save his soul even at the sacrifice of his wife and riches.
7
Save your wealth against future calamity. Do not say, What fear has a rich man, of calamity?
When riches begin to forsake one even the accumulated stock dwindles away.
8
Do not inhabit a country where you are not respected, cannot earn your livelihood, have no friends, or cannot acquire knowledge.
9
Do not stay for a single day where there are not these five persons—a wealthy man, a brahmin well versed in Vedic lore, a king, a river and a physician.
10
Wise men should never go into a country where there are no means of earning one’s livelihood, where the people have no dread of anybody, have no sense of shame,
