Jai Sriman Narayana !!
Rishi Vaishampayana narrates to King Janamejaya about the
conversation took place between Kanika & King Drutharashtra. Kanika continued, “Oh! King, if you really
aspire for your well being, you should
not hesitate or show mercy or feel guilty to kill your opponent whether he is
your son or friend or brother or father or Mentor. An opponent should be killed either with the
power of black magic, or wealth or by inducing poison or any other deceitful
means. An opponent should not be ignored
at any circumstances. When two equal forces
meet, who is determined and diligent will win.
An individual, who has no knowledge to differentiate good or evil,
ultimately chooses immoral path will deserve severe punishment; even a mentor
who follows the immoral ways also deserves punishment. You should have a smile on your face at all times
even if you are under wrath; you should not express your anger and should be
talented to hide your emotions from others.
Oh! Bharatha, you should speak gently to your opponent before and while
attacking him, speak to him sympathetically immediately after the attack, even
shed tears of sorrow for him. You calm
down your opponent by providing him abundance of wealth or apply discreet means
to have peace with him and patiently look for an opportunity to defeat him at the
right time, do not show any kind of mercy on your opponent burn them into ashes
and never permit beggars, thieves and atheist to settle in your Kingdom. You should brutally kill your opponent by
utilizing wealth, power or any deceitful method, while you trample down your
opponent don’t allow him to succeed. If
your opponent is too powerful, he will uproot you if you are not well prepared;
do not trust the ungrateful and grateful as well. You should thoroughly examine
a person’s faith and distrust before appoint him as a spy. You should have spies in eighteen prominent
places such as gardens, arenas, temples, place where chief of ministers &
ministers of assembly resides, residential areas, place where chief of army
resides, treasurer, clubs & Entertainment places, streets, forest areas,
Yajna arenas, etc.. You should have a
sweet tongue and rock hard heart; you should have sweet talk while occupied in
appalling deeds. If you prostrate before
someone you should be loyal and desirable to them, whoever follow morality and
integrity will be worshipped by everyone.
Righteousness and wickedness are mutually assorted, you have to choose
the righteousness and discard the wickedness, honorable lives a restricted life
without wealth, wealthiest people who has no virtues lives a life without happiness.
You follow the path to remain griefless,
leave your jealous, ego and pride, and perform your duties and responsibility
with utmost dedication. You must discuss
your problems with intellectuals and Brahmins, seek their advises and listen to
them carefully. If you have faced
failure in any attempt, don’t remain motionless; put all your efforts to regain
your strength. You should listen to the most
inspiring legend of great heroes ( Nala & Damayanthi, Harischandra
&Chandramathi, Lord Rama & Goddess Sita). A brokenhearted person should be optimistic
and look forward of bright future. At
the time of misery an intelligent person recollects his achievements he had
made so far. A person who acts imprecisely
after entering a peace treaty with his opponent will fall down at any moment".
Jai Sriman Narayana !!
