Ānṛśaṃsya, Amātya-Guṇa, and Reconciliatory Counsel (आनृशंस्य–अमात्यगुण–संधि-उपदेशः)

तेन ते संधिरेवास्तु विश्वसास्मिन्‌ यथा मयि । न राज्यमनमात्येन शक्‍यं शास्तुमपि 5यहम्‌

tena te sandhir evāstu viśvāsasmin yathā mayi | na rājyam anamātyena śakyaṃ śāstum api tryaham ||

بھیشم نے کہا—“لہٰذا اس کے ساتھ تمہاری صلح ضرور ہونی چاہیے۔ جیسا اعتماد تم مجھ پر رکھتے ہو ویسا ہی اس پر بھی رکھو۔ کیونکہ وزیر کے بغیر کوئی سلطنت—حکومت کرنا تو دور—تین دن بھی قائم نہیں رہ سکتی۔”

Educational Q&A

Effective and ethical governance depends on trusted counsel: a ruler should seek reconciliation where appropriate and recognize that a kingdom cannot be administered without capable ministers.

Bhishma, instructing on royal duty and policy, urges the listener to make peace (sandhi) with a certain person and to extend trust to him, emphasizing the practical necessity of ministers for the functioning of the state.
