15  KAUTILYA’S   ‘ARTHASHAASTRA’


MadanMohan Tarun


Self – protection at any cost

तेषामजातस्नेहे पितुर्पांसुदण्डः श्रेयान'' इति भारद्वाजः। पितुर्पाशुदणड;

आचार्य भारद्वाज का मत है कि राजा को चाहिए कि वह अपने पुत्रों का वध कर दे। उनपर स्नेह न करे।

According to acharya Bharadwaaj a king himself should kill his sons. He should not have any affection for them.

(From ‘Kautilya’s ‘ARTHASHAASTRA’ by MadanMohan Tarun)
