Shloka : 119

दैव्यामापदि कष्टायां मानुष्यां वा गदादिषु ।

यथा स्वपररक्षा स्यात्तथावृत्यं न चान्यथा ॥ 119 ॥

અને કષ્ટની દેનારી એવી કોઈ દેવસંબંધી આપદા આવી પડે, તથા મનુષ્યસંબંધી આપદા આવી પડે, તથા રોગાદિક આપદા આવી પડે, તેને વિષે જેમ પોતાની ને બીજાની રક્ષા થાય તેમ વર્તવું; પણ બીજી રીતે ન વર્તવું. ॥ 119 ॥

And during the troublesome emergencies, caused by the fate, men or epidemics, one should behave in such a manner that one's own life as well as that of others could be saved and protected and should not act otherwise. || 119 ||

Commentary

Troublesome and painful emergencies caused by the fate i.e. drought, flood, fire etc., emergencies caused by the men i.e. troubles created by the officials of kings or Govt. employees or theft of one's wealth by the enemies etc., emergencies like spread of epidemics and when people are injured through weapons etc., during such three types of emergencies, one should behave in such a way that one's own life as well as that of others could be protected and should not behave otherwise, because the scriptures have described the code of conduct to be followed during the emergencies separately.
