Transliteration

arthārthī jīvaloko 'yaṁ na kaścit kasyacit priyaḥ | sakhyaṁ sodaryayor bhrātroḥ dampatyor vāṁ parasparam ||

Translation

Bhīṣma dijo: «Este mundo de los seres vivos está movido por el interés propio; nadie es verdaderamente querido por nadie sin algún propósito. Incluso la amistad entre hermanos de una misma madre, o el afecto mutuo entre esposo y esposa, a menudo descansa en la ventaja recíproca».
