Chanakya Neeti

Cāṇakya Nīti is a collection of practical maxims attributed to Cāṇakya, the famed strategist and minister of Chandragupta Maurya. It offers teachings on conduct, prudence, friendship, education, wealth, politics, self-discipline, leadership, and human nature. Unlike the administrative detail of the Arthaśāstra, it is aphoristic and ethical in style, giving worldly wisdom for personal success, social caution, and intelligent decision-making.
