Shloka 7
अधीत्य नीतिशास्त्राणि नीतियुक्तो न दृश्यते । अनभिशनज्ञश्न साचिव्यं गमित: केन हेतुना
adhītya nītiśāstrāṇi nītiyukto na dṛśyate | anabhiśanajñaḥ sacivyaṃ gamitaḥ kena hetunā ||
যুধিষ্ঠিৰে ক’লে—নীতিশাস্ত্ৰ অধ্যয়ন কৰিলেও কোনো মানুহক নীতিযুক্ত দেখা নাযায়; আৰু নীতিত অনভিজ্ঞ কোনোবাই কেতিয়াবা মন্ত্ৰীপদলৈ উঠি যায়। এইটো কোন কাৰণত ঘটে?
युधिछिर उवाच
Educational Q&A
The verse highlights the gap between theoretical learning (studying nītiśāstra) and lived ethical competence, and questions why social-political appointments often do not align with merit or true discernment.
Yudhiṣṭhira raises a reflective inquiry about governance: why some who have studied policy are not actually righteous or capable in conduct, while others lacking such knowledge still obtain ministerial authority.
