bhīṣma uvāca | adharmatāṃ yāti dharmo yāty adharmo dharmatām | vadho nāma bhaved dharmo naitad bhavitum arhati |
Translation
Bhishma dijo: «A veces, lo que se llama “dharma” se desliza hacia la injusticia, y lo que se llama “adharma” llega a ser tenido por justo. Aun así, no es aceptable que la muerte de un ser viviente sea llamada “dharma”: eso, en verdad, no puede ser».
