To day's Subhashita.(Discourse between Bheeshma and Yudhishthara (continued).

Discourse between Bheeshma and Yudhishthara on 'Rajdharma'   (continued).

(1)साधारणं द्वयं ह्येतद् दैवमुत्थानमेव  च |
    पौरुषं  हि  परं मन्ये दैवं निश्चितमुच्यते |

(2) विपन्ने च समारम्भे संतापं मा स्म वै कृथाः |
      घटस्वैव सदाSSत्मानं  राज्ञामेष  परो नयः ||


(1)  Saadhaaranam dvyam hyetad daivamutthaanmeva cha.
       Paurusham hi param manye daiva nishchitamuchyate.

(2)  Vipanne cha samaarambhe santapaapm maa sma vai kruthaah.
       Ghatasveva sadaatmaanam raajamesha paro nayah.

अर्थ - (1)  यद्दपि कार्य की सिद्धि में प्रारब्ध और पुरुषार्थ  - ये दोनों साधारण कारण  माने गये हैं , तथापि मैं पुरुषार्थ को ही प्रधान मानता हूं |  प्रारब्ध तो  पहले से ही निश्चित बताया गया है  |

 अर्थ - (2) अतः यदि आरम्भ  किया हुआ  कार्य पूरा न हो सके अथवा उसमे बाधा पड जाय तो इसके लिये तुम्हें अपने मन में दुःख नहीं मानना चहिये | तुम सदा अपने को पुरुषार्थ में ही लगाये रक्खो | यही राजाओं  की 
सर्वोत्तम राजनीति है |

Continuing his discourse with Yudhishthara, Bheeshma further says :-

(1) saadhaaranam = generally.     Dwayam = two.    hyate = hi+ ete.     Hi = surely.   ete= these
Daivamutthanameva = daiva +utthaana +eva.      Daiva = destiny, fate.    Utthaan =causing to arise, accomplishment of an objective.     Paurusham =manliness, facing adversities bravely.
Param = superior.    Manye = considered.    Nishchitamuchyate = nishchitam + uchyate.
nishchita = surely.    Uchyate = is said

i.e    Although for achieving an objective destiny and manliness are considered to be essential, but I consider manliness ( facing adversities bravely and with conviction) more important, because fate is already ordained by the Providence.

(2)  Vipanne = misfortune ( a situation when a job started can not be completed or some obstructions are there in the completion of the job).    Samaarambhe = started, commenced.
Santaapam = feeling of anguish and suffering.   Maa = not.     Sma = feel.    Vai = a word added after another word to lay stress to it.    Kruthaa =  do.    Ghatasveva = ghatasu+ iva.
Ghatasu = on happening.    Iva = like this.      Sadaatmaanam = sadaa+ aatmaanam.
Sadaa = always.     Aatmaanam = yourself..  Raagyaamesh = Raagyaam + esha.
Raagyaam = for Kings.    Esha = this.    Paro = best.     Nayah = policy, behaviour.

i.e.       If the job taken in hand can not be completed due to some reason or there is some impediment felt in its completion, you should not get disheartened by it and should continue your efforts to achieve the objective.   This the best policy a King should adopt.
