आपदर्थे धनं रक्षेद्दारान् रक्षेद्धनैरपि |
आत्मानं सततं रक्षेद्दारैरपि धनैरपि ||
- चाणक्य नीति (१/६)
भावार्थ - किसी प्रकार की आपदा से सुरक्षा के लिये धन
बचा कर रखना चाहिये , और धन की तुलना में अपनी स्त्री
की रक्षा को प्राथमिकता देनी चाहिये | स्वयं अपनी रक्षा तो
अपनी स्त्री और धन की रक्षा से भी अधिक निरन्तर करनी
चाहिये |
Aapadarthe dhanam raksheddaaraan raksheddhanairapi.
Aatmaanam satatam raksheddaarairapi dhanairapi.
Aapat + arthe. Apaat = misfortune, emergency.. Arthe =
for the sake of. Dhanam = money. Rakshet + daaraan,
Rakshet = should save. Daaraan = to the wife.. Rakshet+
dhanaih + api. Rakshet = protect. Api = even more than
(to express emphasis). Aatmaanam = self. Satatam =
always , continuously. Rakshet +daaraih + api. Dhanaih
+api. Dhanaih = money, wealth.
i.e. One should save money for the sake of getting protection
in case of an emergency, or a calamity, but at the same time give
priority to protecting his wife rather than his wealth. He should
continuously take care of himself even more than his wife and
his wealth.
