अर्थ

चाणक्य नीति का यह प्रसिद्ध पालन-पोषण विषयक श्लोक बालक के लालन-पालन की तीन अवस्थाएँ बताता है — पाँच वर्ष का स्नेहपूर्ण लाड़, दस वर्ष का दृढ़ अनुशासन एवं प्रशिक्षण, और सोलहवें वर्ष से मित्र-तुल्य आदर एवं खुलापन। यह बालक के बड़े होने के साथ कोमलता, मार्गदर्शन और विश्वास को सन्तुलित करता हुआ, बच्चों के पालन-पोषण पर सर्वाधिक उद्धृत सूक्तियों में से एक है।

उत्पत्ति और कथा

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

Chanakya, who himself trained the young Chandragupta into an emperor, gave deep thought to the shaping of the young. This verse on child-rearing distils that experience into three stages — indulgence, discipline and friendship — and has become one of the most widely quoted guides to parenting in the Indian tradition.

शास्त्रों में वर्णित

Generations of parents have credited this single verse with rescuing their households from extremes, for the one who indulges only the small child, trains firmly through the growing years, and befriends the grown one raises a child who is both well-disciplined and devoted.

लालयेत् पञ्च वर्षाणि दश वर्षाणि ताडयेत्। प्राप्ते तु षोडशे वर्षे पुत्रं मित्रवदाचरेत्॥

lālayet pañca varṣāṇi daśa varṣāṇi tāḍayet। prāpte tu ṣoḍaśe varṣe putraṁ mitravad ācaret॥

अर्थ:बालक का पाँच वर्ष तक प्रेमपूर्वक लाड़-दुलार करना चाहिए; अगले दस वर्ष तक उसे दृढ़ता से अनुशासित एवं मार्गदर्शित करना चाहिए; किन्तु जब वह सोलहवें वर्ष में पहुँच जाए, तब उसके साथ मित्र के समान व्यवहार करना चाहिए। चाणक्य पालन-पोषण का एक कालजयी आदर्श देते हैं, जिसमें स्नेह, अनुशासन और मैत्री को बालक की वृद्धि की बदलती अवस्थाओं के अनुरूप जोड़ा गया है।

अक्सर पूछे जाने वाले प्रश्न

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 the conduct of life.
For the first five years the child is treated with loving indulgence (lalayet); for the next ten years (up to about sixteen) the child is firmly disciplined and trained (tadayet); and from the sixteenth year onward the child is to be treated as a friend (mitravat).
In its traditional sense tadayet means to discipline, correct and train with firmness during the formative years, not to harm. The verse's spirit is about firm guidance and structure in the middle stage, balanced by tenderness before it and friendship after.
