O wise man! Give your wealth only to the worthy and never to others. The water of the sea received by the clouds is always sweet.
ChanakyaHe who loses his money is forsaken by his friends, his wife, his servants and his relations; yet when he regains his riches those who have forsaken him come back to him. Hence wealth is certainly the best of relations.
ChanakyaHe who runs away from a fearful calamity, a foreign invasion, a terrible famine, and the companionship of wicked men is safe.
ChanakyaThis sutura gives example about the purpose of relationship. A son of enemy who wants to uproot his own father, should be treated as friend and shold be protected. This may be called opportunism but is and should be necessary part of polity and statesmanship. Moreover, if a father is not aan upright man to have friendship with his sone can be a meritorious peson. So it is better to protecdt him.
