Discourse between Bheeshma and Yudhishthara about "Rajdharma" (continued)
(1) प्रेष्यमाणा विकल्पन्ते गुह्यं चाप्यनुयुञ्जते |
अवाच्यं चैव याचन्ते भोज्यान्याहारयन्ति च ||
(2 ) क्रुश्यन्ति परिदीप्यन्ति भूमिपायाधितिष्ठते |
उत्कोचैर्वचनाभिश्च कार्याण्यनुविहन्ति च ||
अर्थ (1)वे सेवक जब किसी कार्य के लिये भेजे जाते हैं तो उसकी सिद्धि मे संदेह उत्पन्न कर देते हैं | राजा की गोपनीय त्रुटियों को भी सबके सामने ला देते हैं| जो वस्तु नहीं मांगनी चाहिये उसे भी मांग बैठते हैं तथा राजा के लिये रखे हुए भोज्य पदार्थों को स्वयम् खा लेते हैं
(2) राज्य के अधिपति भूपाल को कोसते हैं, उनके प्रति क्रोधित हो उठते हैं| घूस ले कर और धोखा दे कर राजा के कार्य मे विघ्न डालते हैं|
(1) Preshyamaana vikalpante guhyam chaapyanuyunjate.
Avaachyam chaiva yaachante bhojyaanyaahaarayanti cha.
(2) Krushyanti parideepyanti bhoomipaayaadhitishthate.
Utkochairvachanaabhishcha kaaryanyanuvihanti cha.
(1) Preshyamaanaa = On being assigned for some job. Vikalpante = create a doubt, are indecisive.
Guhyam = secrets. chaapyanuyunjate = Cha +api+anuyunjate, Cha =also. Api = even.
Anuyunjate = reveal. Avaachya = improper not to be uttered. Chaiva= cha + iva.
Chaiva = as also. Yaachante = solicit, demand, beg. Bhojyaanyaahaarayanti = Bhojyaan +aahaarayanti. Bhojyaan = food items. Aaharanti = eat, enjoy.
(2) Krushyanti = yell at, criticise. Parideepyanti = flare up with rage. Bhoomipaayaadhitishthte =
Bhoomipaaya +adhitishthate. Bhoomipaya = Ruler of the State, king. Adhitishthate = dominate.
Utkochairvachanaabhishcha = Utkochaih+ vachan +abhi+cha. Utkocha = taking bribes.
Vachan = speech. Abhi = fearlessly. Kaaryaanyanuvihanti = Kaaryaani + anuvihanti.
Kaaryaani = work in hand. Anuvihanti = interrupt, derange.
Explaining further the consequences of befriending the subordinates by a King, Bheeshma gives advice to Yudhishthara as under:-
(1) Whenever these servants are assigned some important task, they create doubt about its accomplishment and also reveal the secret shortcomings of the King. They become so much bold that they demand things for which they are not entitled and even consume the food meant for the King.
(2) Such disobedient servants speak harshly with the the King, criticize him and flare up with rage without any reason. They also take bribes, interrupt and put impediment in the governance of the kingdom.
( If we view the state of governance of our Country at present, we can see the truth behind the above sagely advice of Bheeshma, as the 'Rajdharma' is not being followed, which is the cause of all problems being faced by the people.. He has dealt with the relationship of the King with his subordinates in great detail, which I will post in the forthcoming Subhashitas. There is a separate chapter in Mahabharata dealing with diplomacy and governance, which i will deal later on.)
