Chapter 2: Sudarśana Upākhyāna — Atithi-Dharma and the Conquest of Mṛtyu
Gṛhastha-Vrata
Devanagari script
व्याधितो वा कृशो वापि तस्मिन् नाभून्नर: क्वचित् । उनके राज्यमें कहीं कोई भी कृपण, दुर्गतिग्रस्त, रोगी अथवा दुर्बल मनुष्य नहीं दृष्टिगोचर होता था
Transliteration
vyādhito vā kṛśo vāpi tasmin nābhūn naraḥ kvacit |
Translation
Bhīṣma said: In that realm, one could not be found anywhere who was afflicted by disease or wasted by weakness; no miserly, destitute, or suffering person came into view. The statement presents an ideal of kingship in which governance is measured by the visible absence of poverty, neglect, and preventable misery among the people.
