Skanda Purana — Mahesvara Khanda, Shloka 91
नकुल उवाच । वृथेदं भाषितं तुभ्यं सर्वलोकेन यत्समम् । आत्मानं मन्यसे नैतद्वक्तुं योग्यं महात्मनाम्
nakula uvāca | vṛthedaṃ bhāṣitaṃ tubhyaṃ sarvalokena yatsamam | ātmānaṃ manyase naitadvaktuṃ yogyaṃ mahātmanām
Nakula dit : «Tes paroles sont vaines, semblables à celles des gens ordinaires partout dans le monde. Si tu te crois noble, de tels propos ne conviennent pas aux âmes magnanimes.»
Nakula
