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

5. Education is like Kamdhenu that fulfils all wishes, it helps realize dreams in another land it protects one from alienation and earns one love and respect, and it is a treasure hidden inside one.

6. One worthy son is better than hundred worthless ones. One moon lights up the darkness of night, thousands of starts don’t.

9. What is the use of cow that is barren? What is the use of taking birth of son who neither is scholar nor religious?

10. In this world, which is a boiling cauldron of miseries three things provide cool relief, a worthy son, a devoted wife and discourse by saintly people.

11. Kings speak only once. Pundits advise only once and daughter’s hand is given in marriage only once. These three have the importance of being one timer. These three have the importance of one timer.

12. Meditation is done alone, study needs two, a song is for three, four-some is journey, cultivation requires five, and war asks for more to make an army.

14. A home is forlorn without a son, all directions are pointless without kith and kin, a fool’s heart is empty of emotions and the most depleted of any good is poverty.

1. A Brahmin is guru of two casts, Kshatriya's and Vaishya's, a husband is guru of his wife, and a guest is guru of all.

2. Gold is tested by rubbing, cutting, heating and striking. Similarly, the spirit of sacrifice, behavior, character and deeds are four testing grounds for a person.

3. Fear the fear till the cause of it has not appeared. When the cause shows itself, then do not fear. Fight it.

4. Offspring coming out of same womb are not alike in qualities. Just like fruits and thorns as well grow on the same tree.

5. A person does not deserve a thing he does not appreciate. One who is no lover of beauty does not preen. Stupid persons cannot speak polite and endearing words. A frank speaker can not be deceitful or dishonest.

6. Fools despise men of learning, poor despise rich, widows despise wives and madams of brothels despise virtuous women.

7. Lethargy destroys learning, money given to others does not come back, without seeds harvest does not come up and without a commander the army breaks up.

8. Education comes with exercise, cultured manners earn credit to the family, positive qualities determine the greatness of character and eyes show anger.

9. Money protects religion, regular study preserves learning, and politeness fortifies king, pious women save homes.

10. Those who say that the knowledge of religious books (Vedas and Shastras) is useless, themselves useless. Their jealousy and anguish is useless. The knowledge of these scriptures is not useless.

11. Generosity removes poverty, grace kills crudeness, wisdom drives away stupidity and fear is destroyed by goodwill.

12. There is no disease worse than lust, no enemy is greater than the infatuation, no fire more ravaging than anger and nothing is more soothing than knowledge.

13. A person takes birth alone, dies alone and goes to heaven or hell alone.

14. In the view of an omniscient the heaven is straw, in the view of a warrior the life is straw, the view of those who have tamed carnal desires the woman is straw in the view of those who desire nothing this world is a straw.

15. Education is one’s friend in foreign land. At home wife is one’s friend and for a dead his religion is friend.

16. Rain over sea, feeding, feeding an overfed person, giving donation to a rich man and lighting a lamp in the sunlight are meaningless acts.

17. No water is purer that from a cloud, no power is mightier than will power and self-confidence, no light is brighter than eyesight and nothing is more satisfying than food.

18. Poor wish for money, animals want language, men pray for heaven and angels Moksha.

19. The earth rests on truth, the truth keeps the sun burning, the truth makes the wind blow and the truth is soul matter of everything.

ENGLISH RENDERING OF SLOKAS

1. Man reads scriptures to know religion, he sheds ignorance to make way for learning and he attains Moksha (Nirvana) through knowledge of religion.

2. Among birds crow, among beasts dog, among saints ill tempered one and among humans a backbiter is the lowest of all.

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

4. A king who tours his kingdom is the protector of the subjects. A Yogi or learned person who goes from place to place is respected. But a woman who walks out of her home gets destroyed.

5. One who has riches, he has friends, he has relatives, and he is called a man a wise one.

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.

13. It is better to be stateless than to live in a state of ruled by wicked king. It is better to be without friend than have a deceitful friend. It is better to be without a disciple than to have lowly foolish disciple. It is better to remain unmarried than have a wife of bad character.

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.

  11. The power of the king is in his sword, the power of a scholar is in his knowledge and the power of women is in their beauty and sweetness.
  12. In this world it is no good to be too simple and straight. Look, only straight trees get felled down in the forest. No one touches kinky ones.
  13. Swans live in a lake which is full of water. They desert the lake when it becomes dry. Men should be like swans, changing their habitat when needed.
  14. Money is best protected in charity. The water of pond stays good when it has inflow and outflow.

  21. There is fragrance in flowers, oil in oil seeds, fire in wood, butter in milk, and sweetness in cane, though we don't see them. Similarly there exists a soul in a body in invisible form. It is a mystery which only the faith and logic can help understand.

  12. It is better to live in a tree hollow, in a forest infested with elephant herds nd man eater tigers, eat wild fruits, drink spring water, sleep on straw bed and wear tree bark, than to live relatives as a poor relation.
  13. A brahimnis a tree, worship is its roots, learning of religious books is its branches, faith and deeds are its leaves, So, a Brahamin must protect it roots.
  14. Those who are, mothered by prosperity(Lakshmi), fathered by faith in almighty and are brothered by faithful (vishu's devotees) for all the world are home.
  15. Birds of various colors, shapes and breeds converges on a tree at evening time. And they fly away in different direction in the morning. So are kith and kin who come together in a family and then disperse. Why grieved the separation from each other?
  16. One who is wise , he is powerful. Fools may be physically strong but they lack the winning power of cleverness. Just like the mighty lion who got killed by a clever rabbit.
  17. If the Lord is the provider of us all , why should we worry? If he is not, When why does milk come in the breast of mother? So thing, O Lord, I wish to spend my time in your service.
