উৎপত্তি ও কাহিনি

Chanakya Niti · Chanakya (Vishnugupta / Kautilya) · Ancient India (c. 4th–3rd century BCE)

Chanakya, the master strategist, knew that sound action begins with an honest reading of one's own situation. In this verse he compresses that discipline into six questions — about time, friends, place, finances, self and strength — to be revisited again and again, giving the seeker a portable method for the self-awareness on which all wise conduct depends.

শাস্ত্রে যেমন বলা হয়েছে

Strategists and seekers alike have treasured this verse as a mirror of the mind, for the one who truly asks these six questions again and again is rarely caught unprepared, always knowing the hour, the company, the place, the means and the measure of their own power.

অর্থ:What is the time? Who are my friends? What is the place I am in? What are my expenses and my income? Who am I, and what is my real strength? — these questions one should ponder again and again. Chanakya offers a checklist for constant self-awareness, by which a wise person keeps a clear grasp of circumstances, resources and capacity.

It is a famous verse from the Chanakya Niti (Niti Darpana), the body of aphorisms attributed to Chanakya (Kautilya / Vishnugupta), the ancient Indian teacher of ethics, statecraft and practical wisdom.
Six: What is the time (and age)? Who are my friends? What place or situation am I in? What are my expenses and income? Who am I (my true position)? And what is my real strength or capacity? Chanakya says these should be pondered muhur muhuh — again and again.
Because circumstances, relationships and resources keep changing. Repeated self-examination keeps a person realistic and alert, so that decisions always match the actual situation, one's means and one's capacity, rather than outdated assumptions.
