CHANAKYA NITI

CHAPTER ONE

ENGLISH RENDERING OF SLOKAS

CHAPTER ONE

1 I bow my head to almighty Vishnu, the lord of all worlds, before venturing to put forward the essence of knowledge on politics, extracted from several books and scriptures, for the general benefit of society.
2 The careful study of politics teaches one to discern what is wrong and what is right. And imparts wisdom to choose the path that leads to success and good result
3 For the general public I reveal this knowledge to help everyone know when to do what, to become know all.
4 A wise one should not impart knowledge to a brainless idiot. or associate oneself with a woman of low character or keep company of a complainer beset with miseries. Because they only cause frustration and pain.
5`Death is the fate of person who lives in a place which houses a scheming woman, or a deceitful friend, or disrespectful servant or a poisonous Snake.
6 Protect the money you save for hard time. Protect your woman with the money. Protect yourself with the money and the woman.
7 Save and guard your money for rainy days, if you are not careful, the money has a tendency to get dissipated easily.Bad times come unheralded.
8 Never make a country your home that denies you respect, that offers no means of livelihood, that does not give you a family and Friends and a country that has no education system.
9 Do not live a place for a single day where there are rich people , no king, no scholar, no river and no physician.
10 Do not live in a society which is devoid of, employment opportunities, fear, shame cleverness and spirit of sacrifice.
11 Test the fidelity of the people around the following testing times, a servant sent to fulfill a task, kith and kin in hard times, a friend in hour of dire need, and wife when is money is gone.
12 A true brother or friend is he who stands by you in illness, in hard times, in famine, in facing enemies, in royal court, and in funeral ground.
13 Do not run after what is uncertain, and the process you might loose what was certain.
14 A wise person should seek the hand of a girl from a good family even if ugly she be in look at. Never marry a girl from the lower family than yours, however, beauteous she may be.
15 Do not trust clawed beasts, long and sharp horned animals, persons in arms, woman and royalty.
16 Accepting nectar from poison, gold from unclean source, learning from a person of a lower class and a good woman from a family of bad repute is not wrong.
17 Women have twice the food , four times of shame, six time of courage and eight times of sex hunger.

CHAPTER TWO



1 Telling lies, impatience, deceit, foolishness, greed, impurity, and cruelty - these are the basic traits of woman.
2 If one has a regular rich food available, and appetite to eat and a good constitution to digest it, a beautiful woman to make love with, no shortage of money, and a charitable disposition, then it is like the boon earned after a long meditation.
3 He who has a obedient son, a devoted wife, and is contented with money he has got, is indeed a heavenly life.
4 True sons are those who are dutiful to their father, a true father is one who devoted brings up his children, a true friend is one who is trust worthy and a true women is one who begets peace and happiness to her family
5 A friend who talks all sugars and honey to you but puts finner in your works behind your back is like a piture full of poison topped with cream
6 Do not trust your bad or even good friend with your vital secrets. When your relation sour they shall use the secrets as leverage over you.
7 *Keep your all plans and your ultimate objectives to yourself Guard it as your life's treasure.
8 Certainly the stupidity is woe, the youthful age invites woes but living in other,s house as a poor relation is the biggest woe.
9 Every mountain does not have gem stone, every elephant does not bear Gajamukta gem. Saints don't abound everywhere and the sandalwood trees don't grow in every jungle.
10 Wise people should get their children learn manners, values, and trades of gainful employment. The society respects people who are cultured and employed.
11 The parents who do not educate their children are in fact their enemies. An uneducated person is conspicuous among educated as a crane amongst swans.
12 Too much indulgence spoils sons and pupils, strictness and rebuke make them talented.
13. Read everyday a couplet, half a couplet, half a line, one word at least half a word. But do read
14 *Separation from one's woman, insults by near and dear ones, indebtedness, serving a wicked king, poverty and meeting of one's opponents, are no fire but they burn down a person.
15 * A tree grown on a river bank, a woman staying in an others person's house and a king without council of able ministers are destined to a sure downfall.
16 *Power of Brahmani's is knowledge , power of king is his army, power of merchants is their money, and power of lower classes is servility.
17 *A prostitute deserts an impoverished customer, subjects desert a vanquished king, birds fly away from a tree which ceases to bear fruits and guests leave the house after having the feast.
18 A Bahamian departs after receiving alms, a student takes leave of his teacher on completion of education and deer deserts a burnt forest.
19 One who lives with a man of bad character. gets associated with a sinner or befriends a person belonging to a place of evil, he gets destroyed very soon.
20 Friendship among equals, service of a good king, behaviour of a trader and a beautiful woman inside a house, all these are four ideal

3. Ash cleans bronze, acid cleans copper, menstruation cleans a woman and rapid flow cleans water of a river.

6. The destiny shapes one’s mind, brain, one’s profession and one gets associates according to the same.

7. Time consumes the five elements- the earth, the water, the air, the fire, and the sky. The time brings death. Even after doomsday the time remains in latent form. No one can beyond time.

8. A born blind knows no vision, a man driven by lust is blind to consequences, an arrogant person is thoughtless and selfish person achieves his aims without caring for the fairness of the means.

9. A person indulges in various acts and faces the consequences. He himself joins the rat race and finally leaves it on his own.

10. A king pays for the sins of his subjects, so does for the priest for the sins of his king, so does a husband for the sins of his wife, and a guru pays for the sins of his disciple.

11. An indebted father is an enemy. So are a lustful mother, foolish son, and a beautiful wife.

12. One can conquer a greedy by money, an arrogant by politeness, a fool by fooling and learned by truth.

14. There is no happiness in a state ruled by wicked king. There is no peace from deceitful friend. There is no joy in a home of woman of bad character. There is no credit in teaching a foolish and bad disciple.

15. A man must learn lessons from the following animals, one from lion, two from a crane, three from a donkey, and four from a cock, five from a crow and six from a dog.

16. Whatever task one undertakes, be big or small, one should not leave until the task is done. A loin does not let go the prey it has grabbed until it is devoured and only carcass remains.

17. A wise man must pay his undivided attention t achieving his goal. See how a crane freezes his entire body to concentrate upon the task of catching fish he has targeted.

18. Learn from donkey the spirit of hard work, stoicism and never complaining. The three qualities

19. The cock teaches four lessons. Rising early, fighting to the end, the spirit of sharing food with others like it does with hen and the brood and attacking to defend it territory and rights.

20. Make love discreetly, walk quietly, store the desirable, be vigilant, and do not put trust easily in others. These five things we must learn from crow.

21. Learn following six things from a dog. Have good appetite, eat less than capacity to consume, sleep well, wake up at the slightest disturbance, love your master and be brave.

22. Learn the twenty lessons from the animals and adopt them. The one who does that will achiever success and victory in all fields.
