नारभेतान्यसामर्थ्यात् पुरुष: कार्यमात्मन: । मतिसाम्यं द्वयोर्नास्ति कार्येषु कुरुनन्दन,मनुष्यको चाहिये कि वह अपना कार्य दूसरेके बलपर न करे। कुरुगाज! किसी भी कार्यमें दो पुरुषोंकी राय पूर्णरूपसे नहीं मिलती
Transliteration
nārabhetānyasāmarthyāt puruṣaḥ kāryam ātmanaḥ | matisāmyaṃ dvayor nāsti kāryeṣu kurunandana ||
Translation
দুর্যোধন বলল—মানুষের উচিত নয় নিজের কাজ অন্যের শক্তির উপর ভর করে শুরু করা, বিশেষত যখন নিজে অক্ষম। হে কুরু-নন্দন! কর্মবিষয়ে দুই জনের মত কখনও সম্পূর্ণ এক হয় না।
