Chanakya Neeti Chapter 2 Lyrics In English
anrtam sahasam maya murkhatvamatilobhita ।
asauchatvam nirdayatvam strinam dosah svabhavajah ॥ 01 ॥
bhojyam bhojanasaktischa ratisaktirvaraṅgana ।

yasya putro vasibhuto bharya Chandanugamini ।
vibhave yascha santustastasya svarga ihaiva hi ॥ 03 ॥
te putra ye piturbhaktah sa pita yastu posakah ।
tanmitram yatra visvasah sa bharya yatra nirvrtih ॥ 04 ॥
parokse karyahantaram pratyakse priyavadinam ।
varjayettadrsam mitram visakumbham payomukham ॥ 05 ॥
na visvasetkumitre cha mitre chapi na visvaset ।
kadachitkupitam mitram sarvam guhyam prakasayet ॥ 06 ॥
manasa chintitam karyam vacha naiva prakasayet ।
mantrena raksayedgudham karye chapi niyojayet ॥ 07 ॥
