MAIN POINT FOR EXAMINATION
ANSWER QUESTIONS
Q1) What were the terms and condition of the bet do you think them proper? (बेट या बाजी के नियम और शर्तें क्या थीं, क्या आप उन्हें उचित मानते हैं?)
Answer :– The terms and conditions were – the lawyer had to remain confined in a cell for fifteen years. The cell was within the house of the banker. During his confinement the banker had to supply the necessary requisites to the lawyer for example food, wine, books and the means of entertainment. If the lawyer successfully remained within the confinement the banker had to pay two millions rubles at stake. I do not think them as proper. Because vain longings and rigidity of opinions often give bad results. Ultimately the involved parties get nothing but remorse. Pleasure of gain and pleasure of loss both are futile if real wisdom is perceived. (नियम व शर्तें ये थीं कि वकील को पन्द्रह साल तक एक कोठरी में कैद रहना होगा। कोठरी बैंकर के घर के भीतर थी। कारावास के दौरान बैंकर को वकील को भोजन, शराब, किताबें और मनोरंजन के साधन जैसे आवश्यक सामान उपलब्ध कराने थे। यदि वकील सफलतापूर्वक कारावास के भीतर रहा तो बैंकर को दो लाख रूबल का भुगतान करना था। मैं इन्हें उचित नहीं मानता हूँ। क्योंकि व्यर्थ की लालसाएँ और विचारों की कठोरता प्रायः बुरे परिणाम देती है। अंततः दोनों पक्षों को पछतावे के अलावा कुछ नहीं मिलता है।)
