Shloka 11
राजधर्मः—राष्ट्ररक्षणं, दण्डनीतिः, हयग्रीवोपाख्यानम्
Royal Duty: Protection, Penal Policy, and the Hayagrīva Exemplum
नाकालतो म्रियते जायते वा नाकालतो व्याहरते च बाल: । नाकालतो यौवनमभ्युपैति नाकालतो रोहति बीजमुप्तम्,बालक समय आये बिना न जन्म लेता है, न मरता है और न असमयमें बोलता ही है। बिना समयके जवानी नहीं आती और बिना समयके बोया हुआ बीज भी नहीं उगता है
na kālato mriyate jāyate vā na kālato vyāharate ca bālaḥ | na kālato yauvanam abhyupaiti na kālato rohati bījam uptam ||
Vyāsa said: No one dies before the appointed time, nor is anyone born before it; a child does not even begin to speak before its time. Youth, too, arrives only in due season, and a seed that has been sown sprouts only when its proper time has come. Thus, the world’s changes unfold under the governance of time, teaching patience and steadiness in the face of gain and loss.
