Shloka 14
अतृप्यन्तस्तु साधूनां य एवागमबुद्धय: । परमित्येव संतुष्टास्तानुपास्व च पूच्छ च
bhīṣma uvāca | atṛpyantastu sādhūnāṃ ya evāgamabuddhayaḥ | paramityeva saṃtuṣṭās tānupāsva ca pṛccha ca ||
Bhīṣma dit : «En pareille situation, sers ces grandes âmes qui ne se rassasient jamais de la compagnie des vertueux, dont l’esprit se laisse guider par l’autorité de la tradition sacrée, qui demeurent dans le contentement et tiennent le Dharma seul pour le plus haut. Reste auprès d’elles et interroge-les afin de dissiper tes doutes.»
