Yudhishthira said: 'O mighty-armed one, the counsel (mantra) has been given. However, there is no trust in enemies. Indeed, how could a king conduct himself if he places no trust anywhere?'

O King, indeed, a greater fear arises for a monarch from (excessive) trust. Yet, O ruler, how can a king conquer his enemies if he is utterly devoid of confidence?

Bhishma said: 'O son of Kunti, O ruler, listen to what transpired in Brahmadatta's abode: a conversation of Brahmadatta with Pujani.'

In Kampilya, a bird named Pujani, who resided in Brahmadatta's inner chambers, had lived with him for a long time.

Just as the Jīvajīvaka bird understands the sounds of all creatures, so too was she, even though born in an animal species, all-knowing and discerning of all natural laws (dharma).

There, she gave birth to a single, very radiant son. And simultaneously, a son was also born to the king from his queen.

Having gone to the seashore, she then brought back two fruits for the nourishment of both her own son and the prince.

She gave one fruit to her son and the other to the prince. The fruit was like the taste of ambrosia, increasing strength and vitality. From eating that fruit, the prince achieved exceptional growth.

And held by the nurse's hand, he played with that bird. Then, in an isolated spot, taking that recently born bird, he killed it. After that, O king of kings, he returned to the nurse's hand.

Then, O king, that female bird, who was collecting fruits, arrived. She saw her son, killed by that boy, lying on the ground.

Distressed, with her face full of tears, and tormented by grief, that revered bird, upon seeing her slain son, wept and spoke these words.
क्षत्रिये संगतं नास्ति न प्रीतिर्न च सौहृदम् ।
कारणे संभजन्तीह कृतार्थाः संत्यजन्ति च ॥१३॥
कारणे संभजन्तीह कृतार्थाः संत्यजन्ति च ॥१३॥

13.
With a Kṣatriya, there is neither true association, nor affection, nor friendship. Here, they associate only for a specific purpose, and having achieved their aim, they abandon (others).
क्षत्रियेषु न विश्वासः कार्यः सर्वोपघातिषु ।
अपकृत्यापि सततं सान्त्वयन्ति निरर्थकम् ॥१४॥
अपकृत्यापि सततं सान्त्वयन्ति निरर्थकम् ॥१४॥

Trust should not be placed in warriors (kṣatriyas) who are harmful to everyone. Even after inflicting injury, they constantly try to appease others in vain.
अहमस्य करोम्यद्य सदृशीं वैरयातनाम् ।
कृतघ्नस्य नृशंसस्य भृशं विश्वासघातिनः ॥१५॥

Today, I will exact a fitting revenge from this ungrateful, cruel, and greatly treacherous betrayer of trust.

Killing one who has grown up with you, as well as one who has eaten with you, and one who has sought refuge, constitutes indeed a threefold sin for him.

Having spoken thus, she, the venerable one, then with her feet gouged out the two eyes of the prince and uttered these words.
इच्छयैव कृतं पापं सद्य एवोपसर्पति ।

A sin (pāpam) committed purely by intention immediately afflicts (the perpetrator). For those for whom atonement (pratikriyā) has been performed, their accumulated good and bad (karma) is not destroyed.
पापं कर्म कृतं किंचिन्न तस्मिन्यदि विद्यते ।
निपात्यतेऽस्य पुत्रेषु न चेत्पौत्रेषु नप्तृषु ॥१९॥
निपात्यतेऽस्य पुत्रेषु न चेत्पौत्रेषु नप्तृषु ॥१९॥

19.
If a sinful (pāpam) act (karma) that has been committed is not experienced by him (the perpetrator) in this life, it is visited upon his sons; and if not (on them), then upon his grandsons, or his great-grandsons.

Brahmadatta said: 'Indeed, (an action) has been committed by us, and a counter-action (pratikriyā) has been performed by you. Both of those have now been balanced. Therefore, stay, O Pūjanī; do not leave.'

Pūjanī said: 'The wise (budhāḥ) do not commend someone who, having committed a transgression (aparādha) once, then lingers in that very spot. Departing from there is indeed better.'

O king, one should not trust an enemy even when conciliation is employed. A fool is quickly ensnared, for hostility does not truly subside.

Enmity among those who have become hostile to each other extends to their sons and grandsons. But when even sons and grandsons are destroyed, then it (the enmity) reaches the other world.

For all those who have created enmity, distrust is beneficial. Absolute trust should not be placed in a betrayer of trust.

One should not trust the untrustworthy, nor should one trust even the trustworthy. One may indeed inspire trust in others, but one should certainly not trust one's enemies.

Mother and father are the most esteemed among relatives. A wife can become a source of weariness, and a son is merely a seed (for progeny). A brother may turn into an enemy, and a friend might be unreliable ('wet-handed'). Indeed, the self (ātman) alone is the experiencer of joy and sorrow.

The mind of a person who was previously an offender (or enemy), even when honored with wealth and respect, becomes suspicious. This is because, in the past, it was accustomed to inspiring fear through force.

A person of integrity (sattvavān), having first received honor and then disrespect, should abandon that place where initial recognition was followed by subsequent insult.

Pūjanyu said: One should not trust, thinking, "The hostility (vaira) that had begun is now gone, and I have been placated." An inexperienced person gets trapped by trusting; therefore, it is indeed better to remain unseen (adarśanam).

Those who cannot be overpowered by force, even with very sharp weapons, are subdued by conciliation (sāmnā), just as wild elephants are controlled by female elephants.

Brahmadatta said: Affection (sneha) arises from cohabitation, even towards those who are life-threatening. And mutual trust also develops, just as it does between a dog and a dog-eater (śvapaca).

The hostility (vaira) that arose between those who were mutually antagonistic, having become softened by cohabitation, does not remain at all, just like water resting on a lotus leaf.

Pūjani said: Enmity (vaira) arises from five sources, and the learned (paṇḍita) understand these. These sources are: that caused by women, that arising from property, that arising from speech, that arising from rivalry (sapatna), and that arising from transgression.

In such a situation, the instigator should be eliminated, especially by a warrior (kṣatriya), after having assessed the place, strength, and other factors, whether openly or secretly.

Indeed, one should not place trust in an established enemy, even if they appear as a friend. Enmity (vaira) remains hidden, like fire concealed in wood.

O King, the fire of enmity (vaira) is not extinguished by wealth, nor by harshness, nor by conciliation, nor by learned wisdom or sacred texts. It is like the submarine fire (aurva-agni) in the ocean.

O king, a fire of enmity, once it has arisen, or a consequence (karma) born of an offense, is certainly not extinguished without consuming [something], unless one of the two (the fire or the consequence) is destroyed.

But for a former offender, even if he is honored with wealth and respect, there is certainly neither peace nor trust; his past action (karma) forcibly causes terror.

Brahmadatta said: 'Work is accomplished by time, and similarly, various actions also occur. Indeed, all things proceed solely by time. Who, then, truly offends whom in this world?'
तुल्यं चोभे प्रवर्तेते मरणं जन्म चैव ह ।
कार्यते चैव कालेन तन्निमित्तं हि जीवति ॥४६॥

46.
Both birth and death occur equally. Indeed, everything is brought about by time, and for that very reason, one continues to live.

Some beings are bound simultaneously, while others are not bound individually. Time consumes all creatures, just as fire burns fuel after taking hold of it.

48.
Neither I am the authority, nor are you, O auspicious one, in determining each other's (fates). Time constantly bestows happiness and sorrow upon embodied beings.

Thus, may you live affectionately, unharmed in due course. Whatever was done, that has also been forgiven by me; and you, O revered one, also forgive.

Pūjanyu said: "If time (kāla) is the ultimate authority for you, then no one would ever bear enmity. Why, then, do relatives seek vengeance when a kinsman is slain?"

51.
Why did the gods (deva) and demons (asura) formerly attack each other, if liberation (niryāṇa), pleasure and pain, and creation and dissolution (bhavābhavau) are all determined by time (kāla) alone?
भिषजो भेषजं कर्तुं कस्मादिच्छन्ति रोगिणे ।

52.
Why do doctors (bhiṣaja) wish to administer medicine to a patient? If all matters ripen or come to fruition by time (kāla) alone, what is the purpose of medicines?

53.
Why is such great lamentation made by those overcome with grief? If time (kāla) is the ultimate authority for you, why then does the principle of natural law (dharma) exist for those who act (kartṛ)?

54.
O King, your son killed my child, and he was subsequently harmed by me. Therefore, I too must be imprisoned by you.

55.
Indeed, grieved by the loss of my son, I committed a sin against your son. Therefore, you must punish me, and hear the truth (tattva) from me.

Humans desire birds either for consumption or for sport. There is no third suitable purpose or relationship (saṃyoga) with them, other than killing or captivity.

57.
Some, out of fear of killing and captivity, have resorted to the doctrine of liberation (mokṣa). Those who understand natural law (dharma) say that suffering is born from the calamity of death.
सर्वस्य दयिताः प्राणाः सर्वस्य दयिताः सुताः ।

Everyone holds their own life dear, and everyone holds their children dear. Everyone recoils from suffering, and everyone desires happiness.

59.
O Brahmadatta, old age is suffering. The loss of wealth is suffering. Living with undesirable people is suffering, and suffering also arises from separation from beloved ones.

Suffering is caused by enmity, born of violence, and likewise caused by women. For human beings, suffering constantly alternates with happiness.
न दुःखं परदुःखे वै केचिदाहुरबुद्धयः ।

61.
Some unintelligent people indeed say that there is no suffering in the suffering of others. But he who does not personally know suffering speaks foolishly among the wise.
यस्तु शोचति दुःखार्तः स कथं वक्तुमुत्सहेत् ।
रसज्ञः सर्वदुःखस्य यथात्मनि तथा परे ॥६२॥

saḥ katham vaktum utsahet? sarvaduḥkhasya rasajñaḥ yathā ātmani tathā pare.
62.
He who grieves, afflicted by sorrow, how can he dare to speak? For he is one who understands the essence of all suffering, experiencing it both within his own self (ātman) and in others.
यत्कृतं ते मया राजंस्त्वया च मम यत्कृतम् ।

O King, what I have done to you, and what you have done to me—that cannot be undone even by hundreds of years, O subduer of enemies.

64.
Regarding what was done mutually between the two of us, no peace (sandhi) exists. For by remembering your son again and again, new enmity will surely arise.

He who, having kept enmity close, desires to forge friendship—for him, no reconciliation (sandhi) is possible, just like a broken earthen pot.

Distrust, as ascertained by experts in political science, is conducive to welfare. Formerly, Ushanā spoke these two verses to Prahrāda.
ये वैरिणः श्रद्दधते सत्ये सत्येतरेऽपि वा ।

Those enemies who place their trust, whether in truth or in falsehood, are destroyed precisely because of that trust, just as honey is consumed by fire originating from dry grass.

Indeed, kings, while concealing their enmities, outwardly conciliate. Then, they crush their opponent, just as a full pot is shattered against a stone.

Divine will and human effort are interdependent in all situations. For the noble, action (karma) is the primary means, whereas the weaklings rely solely on destiny.

One must undertake action (karma) that is beneficial to oneself, whether it be harsh or gentle. But a person who is inactive and possesses nothing is always overcome by calamities.

It is said that a man who has accumulated a dwelling, various assets, land, a wife, and good friends, finds prosperity everywhere.

kañcit na vibhīṣayate ca bhīṣitaḥ na bibheti

83.
A wise person (prājña) finds joy everywhere and shines everywhere. He neither frightens anyone, nor does he feel fear when he himself is threatened.

Indeed, for an intelligent person, even a small amount of wealth (artha) always increases. He performs his actions (karma) with diligence and establishes himself through self-control (saṃyama).

One should depart from a country afflicted by disease and famine, or one should go to live elsewhere, or dwell (there) while always being honored.

Therefore, I shall go to dwell elsewhere; I cannot endure (to live) here. This (deed) has been made irreversible (anāhāryam) by your son, O King.

One should avoid from a distance a bad wife, a bad son, a bad king, a bad friend, bad relatives, and a bad country.

There is no trust in a bad friend. How can there be affection for a bad wife? There is no contentment in a bad kingdom, and one cannot thrive in a bad country.

93.
Where there is no oppression, that king governs strictly. And indeed, one should not form a close relationship with someone who desires to support a poor person.

Wives, the country, friends, sons, relatives, and kinsmen—all these depend on a virtuous king, one who guides by natural law (dharma) and is a lord of the earth.

Subjects facing a lack of protection from a king ignorant of natural law (dharma) meet destruction. A vigilant king, protecting his people, is the foundation of the three aims of human life (dharma, artha, kāma).

Having collected the sixth part as tax, one should employ that tax (for the welfare of the people). A king who does not properly protect his subjects is a royal thief.

97.
That king who himself, having given an assurance of safety (abhaya), does not properly uphold that commitment—he, whose intellect is unrighteous (dharma), incurs sin from all the worlds and goes to hell.
दत्त्वाभयं यः स्म राजा प्रमाणं कुरुते सदा ।

saḥ dharmeṇa prajāḥ pālayan sarvasukhakṛt jñeyaḥ.
98.
The king who, having granted protection, always establishes it as a standard, he is to be known as a benefactor of all happiness, protecting his subjects according to natural law (dharma).

Manu, the lord of creation (prajāpati), declared these seven qualities (guṇa) of a king: (he is like) a father, a mother, a preceptor (guru), a protector, (like) fire, (like) Vaiśravaṇa (Kubera), and (like) Yama.
पिता हि राजा राष्ट्रस्य प्रजानां योऽनुकम्पकः ।
तस्मिन्मिथ्याप्रणीते हि तिर्यग्गच्छति मानवः ॥१००॥
तस्मिन्मिथ्याप्रणीते हि तिर्यग्गच्छति मानवः ॥१००॥

tasmin mithyāpraṇīte hi mānavaḥ tiryak gacchati.
tasmin mithyāpraṇīte hi mānavaḥ tiryak gacchati.
100.
For the king is indeed the father of the kingdom, who is compassionate towards his subjects. If he is wrongly guided or acts unjustly, then humanity (mānava) certainly goes astray.
संभावयति मातेव दीनमभ्यवपद्यते ।
दहत्यग्निरिवानिष्टान्यमयन्भवते यमः ॥१०१॥

agniḥ iva aniṣṭān dahati,
yamayan yamaḥ bhavate.
dīnam abhyavapadyate.
agniḥ iva aniṣṭān dahati,
yamayan yamaḥ bhavate.
101.
(A king) cherishes like a mother and helps the distressed. He burns the undesirable like fire, and by restraining (the wicked), he becomes (like) Yama.
इष्टेषु विसृजत्यर्थान्कुबेर इव कामदः ।
गुरुर्धर्मोपदेशेन गोप्ता च परिपालनात् ॥१०२॥

visṛjati ca dharmopadeśena paripālanāt goptā
visṛjati ca dharmopadeśena paripālanāt goptā
102.
A teacher (guru), like Kubera who grants wishes, bestows desired objects. He is also a protector through his instruction in the natural law (dharma) and by fostering its observance.
यस्तु रञ्जयते राजा पौरजानपदान्गुणैः ।
न तस्य भ्रश्यते राज्यं गुणधर्मानुपालनात् ॥१०३॥

tasya rājyam guṇadharmānupālanāt na bhraśyate
tasya rājyam guṇadharmānupālanāt na bhraśyate
103.
The king who pleases the citizens and country dwellers with his virtues, his kingdom does not decline because of his adherence to the intrinsic nature (dharma) of those virtues.
स्वयं समुपजानन्हि पौरजानपदक्रियाः ।
स सुखं मोदते भूप इह लोके परत्र च ॥१०४॥
स सुखं मोदते भूप इह लोके परत्र च ॥१०४॥

104.
saḥ bhūpaḥ hi svayam paurajānapadakriyāḥ
samupajānan iha loke ca paratra sukham modate
samupajānan iha loke ca paratra sukham modate
104.
Indeed, by personally grasping the activities of the city and country dwellers, that king enjoys happiness in this world and in the next.
नित्योद्विग्नाः प्रजा यस्य करभारप्रपीडिताः ।
अनर्थैर्विप्रलुप्यन्ते स गच्छति पराभवम् ॥१०५॥

The one whose subjects are constantly agitated and oppressed by the burden of taxes, and are plundered by misfortunes — he goes to ruin.

The king whose subjects flourish like great lotuses in a pond, he is glorified in the world as one who partakes in the fruit of all Vedic Vedic rituals (yajña).
बलिना विग्रहो राजन्न कथंचित्प्रशस्यते ।
बलिना विगृहीतस्य कुतो राज्यं कुतः सुखम् ॥१०७॥

O king, conflict with a powerful opponent is in no way commendable. For one who is caught in a dispute with a powerful opponent, how can there be sovereignty? How can there be happiness?

Bhishma said: Having thus spoken to King Brahmadatta, Shakunika, after taking leave of the king, then went in her desired direction.
एतत्ते ब्रह्मदत्तस्य पूजन्या सह भाषितम् ।

109.
O best of Bharatas, this conversation between Brahmadatta and the venerable one has been recounted by me for you. What else do you wish to hear?
