बार्हस्पत्य सूत्र / अर्थशास्त्र (महर्षि बृहस्पति - प्राचीन दण्डनीति, राजधर्म एवं कूटनीति सटीक)

( 2 ) 12 Also not sacrifice [agnihotra], Veda-reading, and so forth. 13 Not processions to sacred places. 14 Also not service of a king. 15 Nor service of women. 16 He should not drink intoxicants. 17 Nor slay a Brâhman. 18 Nor practise theft. 19 Nor much indulge in garlands and unguents. 20 He should not be dejected. 21 Nor over-wrathful. 22 What is called non-giving is greed on a wrong occasion. 23 In a (true) field he should have seed sown. 24 Giving should be practised. 25 Aversion therefrom is greed. 26 Theft is also greed. 27 Pleasure is a cause of expenditure of means. 28 A will to hurt gurus, gods, wise men, kings, and so forth is anger, 29 And it is a smiting of one's own head. 30 An enemy equal in forces and so forth he should slay in war; 31 Other adversaries [or If attacking others, then] by conciliation, gifts, dissension, pretended ignoring, and so on. 32 He should not have sordid dress. 22 Text and translation uncertain. More intelligible would be avishaye dānam... ‘giving on a wrong occasion is called non-giving.’ 31 I translate anyābhiyodhinaḥ. 32 Sc. he should never be in deshabille.
