Shloka 12
Devanagari script
वास एव यथा त्यक्तं प्रावृण्वानो $भिमन्यसे । स्रजं त्यक्तामिव प्राप्य लोभाद् यौधिष्ठिरी श्रियम्,जैसे कोई दूसरेका छोड़ा हुआ वस्त्र पहन ले और उसे अपना मानने लगे, उसी प्रकार तुम त्यागी हुई मालाकी भाँति युधिष्ठिरकी राजलक्ष्मीको पाकर अब उसे लोभवश अपनी समझते हो
Translation
“As one who puts on a garment cast off by another and imagines it to be his own, so do you: having obtained Yudhiṣṭhira’s royal fortune like a garland that was discarded, you now, out of greed, take it to be yours.”
