Shloka 23
भীমेन युधिष्ठिरस्य त्यागवृत्तेः प्रतिषेधः
Bhīma’s Rebuttal of Yudhiṣṭhira’s Renunciatory Inclination
Devanagari script
नेमे मृगा: स्वर्गजितो न वराहा न पक्षिण: । अथान्येन प्रकारेण पुण्यमाहुर्न तं जना:
Translation
ভীম বললেন—অরণ্যে সর্বদা বাস করলেও এই হরিণেরা স্বর্গ জয় করতে পারেনি, না বরাহ, না পাখিরা। পুণ্যলাভের পথ অন্যরূপেই বলা হয়েছে; শ্রেষ্ঠজনেরা কেবল বনবাসকেই পুণ্যকারক মনে করেন না।
