MAHABHARATA BY C.RAJAGOPALACHARI (BHAVAN’S BOOK UNIVERSITY) Page:148
When the Pandavas thus decided,( to remain in agyaatvaas for one year in the kingdom of king Virata) Dhaumya blessed them and advised them thus: “Those who are engaged in service under a king should always be vigilant. They must serve without talking too much. They may give their counsel only when asked, and never obtrude it. They should praise the king on befitting occasions. All things, no matter how small may be done only after informing the king, who is a veritable fire in human form. Do not go too near him,nor yet appear to avoid him. Even though a person may be trusted by the king and have great authority,still he should always behave as if he would be dismissed immediately. It would be foolishness to place too much confidence in a king. One may not sit in the conveyance, seat or chariot of the king, presuming on his affection. A sevant of the king should ever be active and selfrestrained. He should not be excessively elated, nor unduly depressed, by being honoured or dishonoured by the king. “He may not reveal the secrets confined to him, nor may he receive anything in the form of gift from the citizens. He should not be jealous of other servants. The king may place fools in positions of authority, leaving aside the wise. Such waywardness should be ignored. One cannot be too careful with the ladies of the court. There should not be the faintest suggestion of indelicacy in one’s conduct towards them.” Dhaumya then blessed the Pandavas: ‘Live thus in patience for one year, serving the king Virata, and then, you will pass the rest of your days in happiness, regaining your lost throne.” |
