Udyoga-parva Adhyāya 28: Dharmādharmalakṣaṇa in Āpad

Crisis-Discernment of Right and Wrong

स्तेनो हरेद्‌ यत्र धन हादृष्ट: प्रसह वा यत्र हरेत दृष्ट: । उभौ गह्याँ भवतः संजयैतौ कि वै पृथक्त्वं धृतराष्ट्रस्य पुत्रे,चोर छिपा रहकर धन चुरा ले जाय अथवा सामने आकर डाका डाले, दोनों ही दशाओंमें वे चोर-डाकू निन्दाके ही पात्र होते हैं। संजय! तुम्हीं कहो, धृतराष्ट्रपुत्र दुर्योधन और उन चोर-डाकुओंमें क्या अन्तर है?

stenaḥ hared yatra dhanaṃ adṛṣṭaḥ prasaha vā yatra haret dṛṣṭaḥ | ubhau gahyau bhavataḥ sañjaya etau kiṃ vai pṛthaktvaṃ dhṛtarāṣṭrasya putre ||

A thief may steal wealth when unseen, or seize it by force even when seen; in both cases he is blameworthy and fit to be apprehended. Sanjaya, tell me—what real difference is there between such thieves and Duryodhana, the son of Dhritarashtra?
