***
After bowing down at the feet of Lord Vishnu, I am describing the different policies taken from various religious scriptures. By knowing these, a man can easily attain Nirvana in this world.
***
Do not inhabit a country where people are not afraid of the law, where people are shameless, where no clever man exists, where people lack in the spirit of charity, and where no art exists.
Do not live even for a single day in places where these five don’t exist. They are prosperous businessmen, educated Brahmin, soldiers, a river, and a doctor.
Test your wife when your wealth is lost, your friend in calamity, your relatives in times of crisis, and your servant after allocating him a critical task.
Whoever helps you in times of illness, misfortune, famines, and invasion is your true brother in the real sense.
One who can’t determine his goals cannot win.
