The king should dig wells for drinking water and make facilities where drinking water is available for humans and other animals free of cost. 'Kupa' is well and 'Prapa' is the place where drinking water is available. (MB, SP, Rājadharmānuśāsanaparva (RDP), 65.17)
All Indian philosophical systems are written in Sanskrit. Zenith of philosophical and spiritual thought can be seen in the Upanisads and Vedantic traditions. Upanisadic literature deals with fundamental problems of life such as, nature of self, nature of the universe, Supreme Reality and relation between Jiva, Jagat and Iśvara and also nature of liberation and means of liberation, doctrine of karma and its effect. They declare that the supreme reality pervades everything and thus man is born divine. Essentially there is no difference between individual self and the Supreme Self. It is matter or just realization. The one who sees oneself in everything and everything in oneself will not hate anyone, thus declares Isopanişad. Upanişads declare the spiritual unity of all existence which can bring peace to one and all.
