तथाशीलसमाचारे राजन् मा प्रणयं कृथा: । वध्यास्ते सर्वलोकस्य कि पुनस्तव भारत
Translation
O König, hege keine Zuneigung zu Duryodhana, dessen Wesen so verschlagen und dessen Wandel so verderbt ist. O Bhārata, die Söhne Dhṛtarāṣṭras sind vor aller Welt des Todes würdig; um wie viel mehr, wenn du selbst sie erschlägst—was wäre da noch zu sagen?
