शकुनिरुवाच एतत्‌ पापिष्ठमकरोर्यदात्मानमहारय: । शिष्टे सति धने राजन्‌ पाप आत्मपराजय:,शकुनि फिर बोला--राजन्‌! आप अपनेको दाँवपर लगाकर जो हार गये, यह आपके द्वारा बड़ा अधर्म-कार्य हुआ। धनके शेष रहते हुए अपने-आपको हार जाना महान्‌ पाप है

Transliteration

śakunir uvāca: etat pāpiṣṭham akaror yad ātmānam ahārayaḥ | śiṣṭe sati dhane rājan pāpa ātma-parājayaḥ ||

Translation

শকুনি বলল—রাজন! নিজেকেই পণ রেখে তুমি যে হেরে গেলে, তা তুমি অতি পাপময় কাজ করেছ। ধন অবশিষ্ট থাকতে নিজেরই পরাজয়—এ আত্মপরাজয় মহাপাপ।
