Dhritarashtra said, Vidur! This man is not independent in the attainment and destruction of wealth. Like a puppet tied by a thread, Arahman has kept it under destiny. That's why you keep saying, I am patiently sitting to listen.
Vidur ji said, Bharat! If Brihaspati also speaks something against the time, then he will be insulted, and his intelligence will also be disobeyed.
In the world, some person is loved by giving charity, another is loved by speaking loving words, and the third is loved by the power of mantras and medicines, but the one who is really loved, is always loved.
The one who has hatred, he does not seem to be a saint, nor a scholar, nor an intelligent person. All the deeds of the Beloved seem to be auspicious, and all the deeds of the enemy are sinful.
Rajan. As soon as Duryodhana was born, I had told you to leave only this one son. By giving it up, one hundred sons will be born, and by not giving it up, one hundred sons will be destroyed.
The intelligence which becomes the cause of destruction in the future should not be given much importance, and that decay should also be respected a lot, which will be the reason for the rise in the future.
King! In fact, the decay which is the cause of growth is not only decay, but that gain should also be considered as decay, by getting which many benefits are destroyed.
Some people are rich in virtue, and some people are rich in wealth. Abandon those who, despite being rich in wealth, are poor in virtue.
Dhritarashtra said, People approve of this, it is also right that the side which has religion, that side wins, even then I cannot sacrifice my son.
Vidur ji said, the one who is full of virtues and humble, he can never neglect seeing even a little bit of the animals being killed.
Those who are engaged in criticizing others, always try with enthusiasm to hurt others, and to create division among themselves.
There is a great sin in taking money from people whose vision is full of evil (inauspicious), and with whom there is great danger in living, and great fear in giving it to them.
Those who have the nature of creating division in others, who are lustful, impudent, deceitful, and famous sinners, they are considered unfit to keep together - condemned.
In addition to the above-mentioned defects, there are other great defects, a person with them should be abandoned. When the feeling of harmony is retired, the love of lowly men is destroyed, the attainment of the fruit of that harmony, and the happiness is also destroyed.
Then that vile person tries to criticize, even after committing a little crime, he starts the industry for destruction, he does not get even a little peace.
By the way, the wise man, having considered with his intelligence, should leave him from a distance on the company of lowly, cruel, and non-sensical men.
He who is kind to his kinsmen, the poor, the afflicted, and the sick, is enriched with sons and animals, and experiences eternal well-being.
Rajendra, those who wish for their own good, they should make their caste brothers progressive, so you increase your clan well.
Rajan! The one who respects his family members, he is a part of welfare.
Bharat Shrestha! Even if the people of our family are without virtues, they should be protected. Then what to talk about those who are desirous of your kindness and virtuous.
Rajan! You are capable, have mercy on the brave Pandavas, and give them some villages for their livelihood.
Nareshwar! By doing this you will get success in this world. Tat! You are Buddha, so you should rule your sons.
Bharat Shrestha! I should also say things in your interest only. You consider me as your well wisher. Tat! A well-wisher should not quarrel with his caste-brothers, but should enjoy happiness together with them.
Eating, talking and loving each other with caste-brothers is the only duty, one should never oppose them.
In this world, caste-brothers only tarnish and drown. Those who are virtuous among them, they save, and drown the wicked.
Rajendra! You behave well towards the Pandavas. Honorary! Being protected from them, you will be safe from the attacks of the enemies.
With a poisoned arrow in hand, approaching a hunter, just as an antelope has to suffer, in the same way a caste brother, who reaches his rich brother and suffers pain, becomes rich because of his sin.
O best of bests! You will grieve afterwards on hearing of the death of the Pandavas, or of your sons. So think about this in advance.
There is no destination of this life. The deed for which you have to regret sitting on the bed in the end, should not be done in advance.
There is no other person except Shukracharya, who does not violate the policy, so what is past is past. Now the rest of the idea of duty depends on intelligent men like you.
Nareshwar! Earlier, if Duryodhana had committed this crime towards the Pandavas, you are elders in this clan, it should be expunged by you.
Narshrestha. If you install him on the royal post, then your disgrace in the world will be washed away, and you will be respected by wise men.
The one who considers the results of the words of the patient and turns them into action, remains a partaker of fame for ever.
Knowledge preached even by skilled scholars is useless, if it does not lead to knowledge of duty, or even after having knowledge, it is not performed.
The wise man who does not start sinful deeds, he grows, but the one who, thinking of the sins committed in the past, follows them, that man of false intelligence, is thrown into the rugged hell full of bottomless mud.
A wise man should know these six doors of Mantrabhed, and keep them always closed with the desire to preserve the wealth.
Consuming drugs, sleeping, not keeping information about essential things, disorder of your eyes, mouth etc., believing in evil ministers, and trusting foolish messengers.
Rajan! He who knowingly keeps these doors closed for ever, engages in the enjoyment of Artha, Dharma, and Kama, he subdues the enemies.
Like Brihaspati, man too cannot acquire the knowledge of the scriptures, or the knowledge of Dharma, and Artha, without serving the elders.
The object dropped in the sea is destroyed, the one who does not listen to what is said is destroyed, the scientific knowledge of Ajitendav Purush, and the Havan performed on the way is also destroyed.
The wise judge by reason and experience, again and again by their own experience, determine their worth, then by listening to others, and, seeing and considering themselves, make friends with the learned.
Modesty destroys infamy, bravery removes disaster, forgiveness always destroys anger, and virtue ends corrosion.
Rajan! Test the clan by different types of food items, mother, house, manner of reception, and food, and clothes.
Even a man without body-pride, if the right thing is automatically present, he does not oppose it, then what to say about a man who is addicted to sex?
One who is a doctor, religious, beautiful to look at, full of friends, and sweet-spoken, who is in the service of scholars, such a friend should be protected at all costs.
Whether born in a lowly family, or in a good family, the one who does not violate the dignity, expects religion, is soft-natured and polite, he is more than hundreds of nobles.
The friendship of two people who meet heart to heart, secret secret to secret, and intelligence to intelligence, never dies.
A brilliant man should abandon a man devoid of turbidity and thinking power, like a well covered with rust, because friendship with him is destroyed.
It is advisable for a learned man not to be friends with arrogant, foolish, wrathful, adventurous, and irreligious men.
A friend should be such, who is conscientious, dhramic, truthful, generous, strong-willed, sensitive, stays within limits, and does not sacrifice friendship.
To restrain the senses at all, is worse than death, and to leave them completely free, destroys even the gods.
Gentleness towards all living beings, freedom from jealousy, forgiveness, and patience, all these qualities increase the age, so say the learned people.
One who takes shelter of a stable intellect, to the wealth destroyed by injustice. Desires to bring back with good policy, he behaves like brave men.
The one who knows the way to stop the coming sorrow, is determined to perform the duty of the present, and also knows the duty that is left in the past, that man is never devoid of meaning.
Whatever a man continuously consumes through mind, speech, and action, that work draws that man towards itself. That's why always do welfare works only.
The touch of auspicious things, the control of the mind, the practice of the scriptures, and the repeated vision of good men, all these industries are welfare.
To be engaged in industry, not to be separated from it, is the root of wealth, profit and welfare. That's why a man who does not give up industry becomes great, and enjoys eternal happiness.
Tat! For a capable man, everywhere and at all times, there is no other way, which is as beneficial as forgiveness, and which makes him extremely prosperous.
The one who is powerless must forgive everyone, the one who is powerful must also forgive for the sake of religion, and in whose eyes both meaning and harm are equal, forgiveness is always beneficial for him.
The happiness which does not get corrupted by Dharma and Artha, even after consuming it, one should consume it sufficiently, but should not be foolish (attachment and unjustly consume the subject).
Lakshmi does not reside there who is afflicted with sorrow, careless, atheist, lazy, ajitendriya, and without enthusiasm.
Foolish people, endowed with simplicity and because of simplicity, despise a shy person as weak.
Lakshmi does not go near the person who is very superior, very charitable, very brave, who observes a lot of fasts and rules, and who is shattered by the pride of intelligence.
Rajalakshmi neither resides with the most virtuous, nor with the most deserving. It neither longs for many virtues, nor does it have affection for the one without virtues. Like a perfect cow, this blind Lakshmi stays somewhere or the other.
The fruit of the Vedas is performing amihotra, the fruit of studying the scriptures is politeness and good conduct, the fruit of a woman is night-happiness and the birth of a son, and the fruit of wealth is charity and consumption.
The one who performs sacrificial work with the money earned by unrighteousness, he does not get the fruit of it after death, because his money has come from bad path.
In the dense forest, on the difficult path, in the time of difficult opposition, in panic, and even when the enemy is ready to attack, men who are full of sattva (morale) do not fear.
Industry, restraint, efficiency, caution, patience, memory, and thought-thinking consider these as the basic mantras of progress.
The strength of the ascetics is penance, the strength of the Vedas is the Vedas, the strength of the wicked is violence, and the strength of the virtuous is forgiveness.
Water, root, fruit, milk, ghee, the fulfillment of a brahmin's wish, the word of a guru, and medicine, these eight do not destroy the fast.
Don't do the same to others which seems unfavourable to you. This is the form of religion in a little. On the contrary, in which there is a trend due to desire, it is unrighteous.
Conquer anger with anger, subdue the wicked with good behaviour, conquer the miser with charity, and conquer falsehood with truth.
Women, sly, lazy, coward, wrathful, proud of masculinity, thieves, and atheists should not be trusted.
One who always worships the teachers and is engaged in the service of old men, his fame, age, fame and strength-all these increase.
Do not set your mind on the wealth that is obtained by suffering a lot, by violating the religion, or by bowing the head in front of the enemy.
One should mourn for a man who is without knowledge, a woman without child, a subject who does not get food, and a nation without a king.
Walking too long is old age in the form of sorrow for bodily beings, falling water regularly is old age for mountains, abstaining from sexual intercourse is old age for women, and being struck by arrows in the form of words is old age for the mind.
Absence of practice is the filth of the Vedas, non-observance of Brahminical rules is the filth of a Brahmin, foreign country is the filth of the earth, and lying is the filth of a man, eagerness to play and joke, chastity is the filth of a woman, And living in a foreign country without a husband is just a woman's filth.
सोने का मल है चाँदी, चाँदी का मल है राँगा, राँगे का मल है सीसा, और सीसा का भी मल है, मल।
Don't try to win sleep by sleeping. Don't wish to win over the women by sex work. Don't hope to win the fire by adding wood, and don't try to win the habit of drinking alcohol by drinking too much.
Whose friends have been subdued by money-donation, enemies have been conquered in war, and women have been subdued by food and drink, his life is successful.
Those who have thousand (rupees), they are also alive, and those who have hundred (rupees), they are also alive, so Maharaj Dhootarashtra! You leave the greed of more, somehow life will continue with this.
All the paddy, joe, gold, animals, and women on this earth are not complete even for a man, a man who thinks like this, does not fall into temptation.
Rajan! I say again, if you have the same feelings for your sons and the Pandavas, then treat all those sons equally.
