राजधर्म के अन्तर्गत विभिन्न रक्षात्मक साधनों का वर्णन करते हुए भीष्म पितामह राजा युधिष्ठर से कहते हैं :-
(1) चारश्च प्रणिधिश्चैव काले दानममत्सरात् |
युक्त्यादनं न चादानमयोगेन युधिष्ठिर ||
(
2) सतां संग्रहणं शौर्यं दाक्ष्यं सत्यं प्रजाहितम् |
अनार्जवैरार्जवैश्च शत्रुपक्षस्य भेदनम् ||
अर्थ - युधिष्ठिर ! गुप्तचर (जासूस) रखना, दूसरे राष्ट्रों मे अपना प्रतिनिधि (राजदूत) नियुक्त करना,
कर्मचारियों को समय पर वेतन देना , युक्ति से कर लेना , अन्याय से प्रजा के धन को न हड्पना , सत्पुरुषों का संग्रह करना , शूरता , कार्यदक्षता , सत्यभाषण , प्रजा का हित-चिन्तन, सरल या कुटिल उपायों से शत्रु में फूट डालना ........ (शेष आगामी दिवस में )
