BORI CE: 12-065-001 इन्द्र उवाच |
MN DUTT: 07-065-001 इन्द्र उवाच एवंवीर्यः सर्वधर्मोपपन्न क्षात्रः श्रेष्ठः सर्वधर्मेषु धर्मः |
M. N. Dutt: Indra said Kshatriya duties, O king, which are so very potent, which embrace the exercise of all other duties, and which are the highest of all duties, should be observed by persons that are like you so high-souled and seek the well-being of the world. If those duties are not properly satisfied all creatures would be ruined. |
|
BORI CE: 12-065-002 भुवः संस्कारं राजसंस्कारयोग;मभैक्षचर्यां पालनं च प्रजानाम् |
MN DUTT: 07-065-002 भूसंस्कारं राजसंस्कारयोर्ग मभैक्ष्यचर्यां पालनं च प्रजानाम् |
M. N. Dutt: The king, cherishing mercy for all creatures, should consider these as the highest of his duties, viz., reclaiming the land for cultivation and fertilizing it, celebration of great sacrifices for purifying himself, aversion for begging, and protection of subjects. |

BORI CE: 12-065-003 त्यागं श्रेष्ठं मुनयो वै वदन्ति; सर्वश्रेष्ठो यः शरीरं त्यजेत BORI CE: 12-065-004 बहुश्रुत्या गुरुशुश्रूषया वा; परस्य वा संहननाद्वदन्ति |
MN DUTT: 07-065-003 त्यागं श्रेष्ठं मुनयो वै वदन्ति सर्वश्रेष्ठं यच्छरीरं त्यजन्तः |
M. N. Dutt: Making gifts is said by the sages to be the greatest of virtues. Of all kinds of gifts again, that of the body in battle, is the highest. You have seen with your own eyes how the kings, ever following Kshatriya duties, having duly waited upon their preceptors and acquired great learning, at last sacrifice their bodies, while fighting with one another. The Kshatriya, desirous of earning religious merit, should after following the Brahmacharya mode, live like a house-holder which is always meritorious. |
|
BORI CE: 12-065-005 सामान्यार्थे व्यवहारे प्रवृत्ते; प्रियाप्रिये वर्जयन्नेव यत्नात् BORI CE: 12-065-006 सर्वोद्योगैराश्रमं धर्ममाहुः; क्षात्रं ज्येष्ठं सर्वधर्मोपपन्नम् |
MN DUTT: 07-065-004 सामान्यार्थे व्यवहारे प्रवृत्ते प्रियाप्रिये वर्जयन्नेव यत्नात् |
M. N. Dutt: While settling the question of right (between) his subjects, he should be perfectly impartial. For making the various orders follow their respective duties, for the protection they give to all, for the various contrivances and means and the prowess and exertion Kshatriya duties, which embrace all other duties, are said to be the highest. The other orders are able to follow their respective duties for kingly duties. Therefore the former depend upon the latter regarding the merit they produce. |
|
BORI CE: 12-065-007 निर्मर्यादे नित्यमर्थे विनष्टा;नाहुस्तान्वै पशुभूतान्मनुष्यान् |
MN DUTT: 07-065-005 निर्मर्यादान् नित्यमर्थे निविर्श नाहुस्तांस्तान् वै पशुभूतान्मनुष्यान् |
M. N. Dutt: Those men, who disobey all healthy checks and who are too much attached to the worldly objects, are regarded as brutes. They are constrained to act justly by the exercise of kingly duties. Those duties, therefore, are said to be the highest of all. |

M. N. Dutt: That course of conduct which has been laid down for Brahmanas who follow the three Vedas, and those modes of life that have been laid down for Brahmanas, should, first, of all be observed by every Brahmana. If a Brahmana acts otherwise, he should be punished like a Shudra, |

MN DUTT: 07-065-008 अन्यथा वर्तमानस्य नासौ वृत्तिः प्रकल्प्यते |
M. N. Dutt: A Kshatriya should never maintain a Brahmana acting otherwise. His religious merit increases for his acts. A Brahmana, indeed, is like Dharma. |
|
BORI CE: 12-065-011 यो विकर्मस्थितो विप्रो न स सन्मानमर्हति |
MN DUTT: 07-065-009 यो विकर्मस्थितो विप्रो न स सम्मानमर्हति |

M. N. Dutt: These are the duties of the various orders. Kshatriyas should look after them so that their observance may be improved. These are the duties of Kshatriyas. For these reasons also, kingly duties and no others, are the highest of all. They are, as I believe, the duties of heroes, and the heroes are foremost in following them. |
