धर्मसूक्ष्मे त्यागप्रधान्यविचारः

Subtle Dharma and the Primacy of Renunciation

पार्थ यान्न विजानीम: कस्तान्‌ ज्ञातुमिहाहति । एवं प्राज्ञा: श्रुताश्नापि महान्तः शास्त्रवित्तमा:,पार्थ! जिन विद्वानोंको हम नहीं जान पाते हैं, उन्हें कोई साधारण मनुष्य कैसे जान सकता है? इस प्रकार शास्त्रोंके अच्छे-अच्छे ज्ञाता एवं महान्‌ विद्वान्‌ सुननेमें आये हैं (जिनको पहचानना बड़ा कठिन है)

yudhiṣṭhira uvāca | pārtha yān na vijānīmaḥ kas tān jñātum ihārhati | evaṃ prājñāḥ śrutāś cāpi mahāntaḥ śāstravittamāḥ ||

Yudhiṣṭhira said: “O Pārtha, those whom even we do not truly recognize—who here could be fit to know them? In this way, many wise and eminent masters of the scriptures are spoken of as having existed, yet their true stature is difficult to discern.”
