अर्थ

इस सजीव एवं बहुप्रचलित श्लोक में चाणक्य विषैले जीवों की — जिनका विष केवल एक अंग तक सीमित है — दुर्जन से तुलना करते हैं, जिसका हर अंग और हर वृत्ति हानि से भरी होती है। यह चरित्र-विवेक की एक तीक्ष्ण शिक्षा है, जो चेताती है कि दुष्ट व्यक्ति किसी भी एक-दंश वाले जीव से कहीं अधिक खतरनाक है और उससे अत्यन्त सावधानी से व्यवहार करना चाहिए।

उत्पत्ति और कथा

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

Chanakya, the strategist behind the rise of the Mauryan empire, prized a keen reading of human character. In this vivid verse he draws on the natural world — scorpion, fly and serpent — to make the point that whereas dangerous creatures bear poison in a single organ, the truly wicked person is dangerous in every limb, and so warrants the greatest caution.

शास्त्रों में वर्णित

Niti teachers say this verse has spared many from ruin, for one who remembers it keeps watch over the whole conduct of a suspect person rather than trusting a single pleasing trait, and so is not taken unawares by a poison that runs through the entire being.

वृश्चिकस्य विषं पुच्छं मक्षिकायाश्च मस्तके। तक्षकस्य विषं दन्ते सर्वाङ्गे दुर्जनस्य च॥

vṛścikasya viṣaṁ pucchaṁ makṣikāyāś ca mastake। takṣakasya viṣaṁ dante sarvāṅge durjanasya ca॥

अर्थ:बिच्छू का विष उसकी पूँछ में होता है, मक्खी का विष उसके सिर में, और सर्प (तक्षक) का विष उसके दाँत में — किन्तु दुर्जन के तो सम्पूर्ण शरीर (हर अंग) में विष भरा होता है। चाणक्य चेतावनी देते हैं कि विषैला जीव तो केवल एक अंग से हानि पहुँचाता है, परन्तु दुष्ट व्यक्ति समूचा ही हानिकारक होता है।

उत्तम समयMorning reflection, or when assessing the character of those around you

Recite the verse slowly and picture each creature in turn — the scorpion's tail, the fly's head, the serpent's fang — and then the wicked person whose whole being is poison. Reflect on the lesson of vigilance and discernment in choosing one's company. It is traditionally studied among Chanakya's teachings on judging people.

अक्सर पूछे जाने वाले प्रश्न

It is a famous verse from the Chanakya Niti (Niti Darpana), the collection of aphorisms attributed to Chanakya (Kautilya / Vishnugupta), the ancient Indian master of ethics and statecraft.
That venomous creatures carry poison in only one organ — the scorpion in its tail, the fly in its head, the snake in its fang — whereas a wicked person is harmful in every part. It is a warning that an evil character is more pervasively dangerous than any single-sting creature.
By exercising discernment and caution with people of bad character. Just as one keeps a safe distance from venomous creatures, Chanakya advises careful vigilance with the wicked, since their harm is not confined to one trait or moment but runs through their whole nature.
