Udyoga-parva Adhyāya 71 — Kṣatra-dharma Counsel, Public Legitimacy, and Mobilization
Devanagari script
नहि नः प्रीणयेद् द्रव्यं न देवत्वं कुत: सुखम् । न च स्मिरैश्वर्य तव द्रोहेण माधव,माधव! यदि दुर्योधनने द्रोहवश आपके साथ कोई अनुचित बर्ताव किया, तो धन, सुख, देवत्व तथा सम्पूर्ण देवताओंका ऐश्वर्य भी हमें प्रसन्न नहीं कर सकेगा
Transliteration
nahi naḥ prīṇayed dravyaṃ na devatvaṃ kutaḥ sukham | na ca sma aiśvaryaṃ tava droheṇa mādhava mādhava ||
Translation
Yudhiṣṭhira said: “No wealth could ever gladden us—nor even godhood; how then could mere pleasure? And even the sovereignty of the gods would not satisfy us, O Mādhava, if it were gained through betrayal of you.”
