( ). आत्मवांश्च जितक्रोध शास्त्रार्थकृतनिश्चयः |
धर्मे चार्थे च कामे च मोक्षे च सततं रतः ||
(2). त्रय्यां संवृतमन्त्रश्च राजा भवितुमर्हति |

अर्थ -जिसने अपने मन को वश में कर लिया है , क्रोध को जीत लिया है तथा शास्त्रों के सिद्धान्त का
निश्चयात्मक ज्ञान प्राप्त कर लिया है , जो धर्म, अर्थ, काम और मोक्ष के प्रयत्न में निरन्तर लगा
रहता है, जिसे तीनों वेदों का ज्ञान है तथा जो अपने गुप्त विचारों को दूसरों पर प्रकट नहीं होने देता है ,
वही व्यक्ति राजा होने योग्य है | प्रजा की रक्षा न करने से बढ कर राजाओम् के लिये कोइ पाप नहीं है |
1. Aatmavaamshcha jitakrodha shashtraarthakrutanishchayah
Dharme chaarthe cha kaame cha mooksho cha satatam ratah.
Aatmavaamscha = one who has control over his mind. Jitakrodha = one who has conquered his anger. Shashtraarth krutanishchaya = one who has learned all the scriptures and knows well how to observe them. Dharma = religion. Artho = financial matters. Kaam = desires.
Moksha =salvation,emancipation. Satatam = always. Ratah = engaged, busy.
2. Trayaam samvratamantrashcha raajaa bhavitumarhati.
vrujinam cha narendraanaam naanyaashchaarakshnaat param.
Trayaam = all the three.(reference to Vedas namely Rigveda, Yajurveda and Saamveda, the most
ancient and revered treatises of Knowledge of Hindu Religion). Samvrutamantra = one who keeps
his counsels and plans secret. Bhavitumarhati= bhavitu +arhati. =be worthy of.
Vrujinam = distressed persons. Narendraanaam = kings. Naanyashchaarakshnaat = na +
anyashcha +rakshnaat. Anyashcha = others. Rakshnaat = protection. Param = foremost.
In the above two shlokas, Bheeshma outlines the qualities of head and heart which a King must have to rule over his kingdom. He says - " Only a person who has full control over his mind ,conquered his anger, has learned all the scriptures and knows well as to how to implement the edicts enshrined in them, continually strives to uphold the Religion, commerce, aspirations and emancipation of people, is well versed in the three Vedas, and keeps his counsels and plans secret, is entitled to be a ruler of a Kingdom.
There is no sin greater for a King than his inability to protect his distressed citizens. "
