प्रमृत

{ pramṛta }

Puranic Encyclopaedia

PRAMṚTA   One of the ways of earning wealth. There are five ways according to Manusmṛti. Ṛtāmṛtābhyāṁ jīvettu Mṛtena pramṛtena vā / Satyānṛtābhyāmapi vā Na śvavṛtyā kadācana. // Śloka 4, Chapter 4, Manusmṛti). Ṛtam, Amṛtam, Mṛtam, Pramṛtam and Satyānṛtam are the five ways. Each has been described thus: Ṛtamuñchaśilaṁ jñeyam Amṛtaṁ syādayācitam / Mṛtantu yācitaṁ bhaikṣam Pramṛtaṁ karṣaṇaṁ smṛtam // Satyānṛtantu vāṇijyam tena caivāpi jīvyate / Sevā śvavṛttirākhyātā Tasmāt tāṁ parivarjjayet // [Ślokas 5 and 6, Chapter 4. Manusmṛti] (Ṛtam is the collection of grains from paddy fields with two fingers. Amṛta is that which is obtained without begging and Mṛta is that which is obtained by begging. Wealth that is obtained by agriculture is Pramṛta and that which is obtained by trade is Satyānṛta. Wealth obtained by sevā (flattery and service) is to be avoided.)
