Shloka 14
कृष्णेन विदुरं प्रति आगमन-हेतु-निवेदनम् / Krishna explains the purpose of his coming to Vidura
Devanagari script
अविजानत्सु मूढेषु निर्मयदिषु माधव । नत्वं वाक्यं ब्रुवन् युक्तश्नाण्डालेषु द्विजो यथा,“माधव! जैसे चाण्डालोंके बीचमें किसी विद्वान् ब्राह्यणका उपदेश देना उचित नहीं है, उसी प्रकार उन मर्यादारहित मूर्ख और अज्ञानियोंके समीप आपका कुछ भी कहना मुझे ठीक नहीं जान पड़ता
Translation
“O Mādhava, among the ignorant fools who lack all restraint, it is not fitting for you to speak. Just as a learned brāhmaṇa should not offer instruction in the midst of caṇḍālas, so too your words there would be out of place.”
