धर्मं धनं च धान्यं च गुरोर्वचनमौषधम् |
सुग्रहीतं च कर्तव्यमन्यथा तु न जीवति ||
- चाणक्य नीति (१४/१९)
भावार्थ - हमारा यह परम् कर्तव्य है कि हमें धर्म का पालन , धन संपत्ति
तथा धान्य (अनाज) का संग्रह (किसी दैवी आपदा से बचने के लिये), अपने
गुरु के आदेशों का पालन, तथा रुग्ण (बीमार) होने पर औषधियों का सेवन
भली भांति करना चाहिये | अन्यथा हम जीवित नहीं रह सकते हैं |
Dharmam dhanam cha dhaanyam cha gurorvachanamaushadham.
Sugraheetam cha kartavyamanyathaa tu na jeevati.
Dharmam = religious austerity. Dhanam = wealth. cha = and.
Dhaanyam = foodgrains. Guroh + vachanam + aushadham. Guroh =
of the Guru (the teacher) Vachan= saying, instructions. Aushadham=
medicines. Sugraheetam =should be perceived properly. Kartaavyam+
anyathaa. Kartavyam = duty. Anyathaa = otherwise. Tu= and.
Jeevati = remain alive.
i.e. We should perceive it properly that it is our foremost duty to practise
religious austerity, acquire and store wealth and food grains (to meet any
contingency), obey the instructions of our Gurus and take proper medicines
on becoming sick. If otherwise ,we can not remain alive .
