बार्हस्पत्य सूत्र / अर्थशास्त्र (महर्षि बृहस्पति - प्राचीन दण्डनीति, राजधर्म एवं कूटनीति सटीक)

VI ( Naya )
1 He should get to know the action suitable to
place and time, also policy and impolicy :
2 Not what is contrary to Veda, manliness, and pride.
3 Let him observe friendly acts.
4 Policy is carried out after examination by cou-
ncillors.
5 Let him examine what is to be done or not to
be done in conjunction with councillors living by their
intellect.
6 Whoso can design even an unwelcome measure,
he is to be employed in counsel.
7 Let him acquier wealth.
8 Whoso has store of wealth, has friends and
righteousness and knowledge and merit and prowess
and intelligence.
9 By one without riches riches cannot be acqui-
red, as an elephant by one without elephant.
10 In riches is rooted the world.
11 And therein are all things.
12 A man without riches is a dead man and a
Candâla.
13 Likewise let him acquire knowledge, the root
of righteousness.
14 In knowledge is rooted the world.
15 Knowledge again is all.
16 So says the Guru.
So in the Brihaspati Sûtra the Sixth Chapter.
6 Reading api karyam in place of vikaram. The sense
would seem to be that one who would employ his intelligence in
measures which he personally disliked would be a trustworthy
councillor.
