THE MAHABHARATA
" Are tanks in your country full, big,
and distributed in the several areas? Is
agriculture not dependent on rains only?
'कश्चित्स्वनुष्ठिता तात वार्ता ते साधुभिर्जनैः ।
वार्तायां संश्रितस्तात लोकोऽयं सुखमेधते ॥
Is your economic welfare, – agriculture,
commerce, live-stock and banking-well-
managed by efficient men? My son! this
world flourishes in happiness, if it is
well based on economic welfare.
'कञ्चित्कृतं विजानीषे कर्तारं च प्रशंससि ।
सतां मध्ये महाराज सत्करोषि च पूजयन् ॥
"Great king, do you recognise a work
done, acclaim the doer and honour him
with rewards in the midst of good people ?
' कच्चिदग्निभयाच्चैव सर्वे व्यालभयात्तथा ।
रोगरक्षोभयाच्चैव राष्ट्रं स्वं परिरक्षसि ॥
""
Do you guard your entire country from
fear of fire, reptiles, diseases and evil spirits?
'कश्चिदन्धांश्च मूकांध पङ्गन्व्यङ्गानबान्धवान् ।
पितेव पासि धर्मश तथा प्रव्रजितानपि ॥
