Shloka 97
Devanagari script
युधिष्ठिर बोले--अपने धर्ममें स्थिर रहना ही स्थिरता है, इन्द्रियनिग्रह धैर्य है, मानसिक मलोंका त्याग करना परम स्नान है और प्राणियोंकी रक्षा करना ही दान है ।। यक्ष उवाच कः: पण्डित:ः पुमान् ज्ञेयो नास्तिक: कश्न उच्यते । को मूर्ख: कश्न काम: स्यात् को मत्सर इति स्मृतः,यक्षने पूछा--किस पुरुषको पण्डित समझना चाहिये, नास्तिक कौन कहलाता है? मूर्ख कौन है? काम क्या है? तथा मत्सर किसे कहते हैं?
