Duryodhana Seized by Citraseṇa; Kaurava Petition to Yudhiṣṭhira (दुर्योधनापहारः / चित्रसेनगन्धर्वग्रहणम्)

अप्रकीर्णेन्द्रियं दान्तं शुचिं नित्यमतन्द्रितम्‌ । आस्तिकं श्रद्धधानं च वर्जयन्ति सदा ग्रहा:,जिसने अपनी इन्द्रियोंको सब ओरसे समेट लिया है, जो जितेन्द्रिय, पवित्र, नित्य आलस्यरहित, आस्तिक तथा श्रद्धालु है, उस पुरुषको ग्रह कभी नहीं छेड़ते हैं--उसे दूरसे ही त्याग देते हैं

aprakīrṇendriyaṃ dāntaṃ śuciṃ nityamatandritam | āstikaṃ śraddadhānaṃ ca varjayanti sadā grahāḥ ||

Orang yang inderanya tidak tercerai-berai, yang mengekang diri, suci, senantiasa waspada dan bebas dari kemalasan, serta beriman pada dharma dan penuh keyakinan—orang demikian tidak pernah diganggu oleh graha; pengaruh-pengaruh itu menjauhinya dari kejauhan.
