The maxims of Chanakya over one thousand in number included in this book culled from the three major works attributed to him Arthasastra Chanakyasutras and Chanakyarajanitisastra (sometimes knows as Chanakyanitidarpana) cover a wide range of subjects. No branch of life or learning has been left untouched by the great political genius. He has something pithy to say on politics administration economics ethics education health sex and self improvement. In terseness of expression no language with the possible exception of Latin can excel Sanskrit and the great master has used this wonderful language to such perfection that one is awestruck by the volume of message often conveyed in a couple of words. The English translation of Chanakya's original Sanskrit maxims captures their brevity and wisdom for the benefit of a larger audience not conversant with the Sanskrit language. The introduction Chanakya His Life Times and Work adds to the value of this publication. It is hoped that Maxims of Chanakya will prove an invaluable guide to the Legislator the Administrator the Planner and the Educationist all those who shape a country's policy or an individual's future. 184 pp. Seller Inventory # 51857
