Chanakya Neeti 12 16
नातन्त्री विद्यते वीणा नाचक्रो विद्यते रथः। नापततः सुखमेधेत या स्यादवप शतात्मजा ॥
Naatantree vidyate veenaa naachakro vidyate rathah Naapatih sukhamedheta yaa syaadapi shataatmajaa
कल्प तरु तो एक लकड़ी ही है. सुवर्ण का सुमेर पर्वत तो निश्छल है. चिंता मणि तो एक पत्थर है. सूर्य में ताप है. चन्द्रमा तो घटता बढ़ता रहता है. अमर्याद समुद्र तो खारा है. काम देव का तो शरीर ही जल गया. महाराज बलि तो राक्षस कुल में पैदा हुए. कामधेनु तो पशु ही है. भगवान् राम के समान कौन है.
Hindi Translation
A Veena cannot exist without its strings. A chariot cannot exist without its wheels. Without her husband, a woman can never live happily despite having a hundred sons. [Context: Sita’s response to Kausalya’s advice asks her to respect and obey Rama despite his being deprived of the kingdom. ]
