कर्णपरर्वणि त्रयोचत्वारिंशदध्यायः (Karṇa-parva Adhyāya 43) — Kṛṣṇa’s Battlefield Assessment and the Reversal Around Bhīma
Devanagari script
तयोरपत्यं वाहीका नैषा सृष्टि: प्रजापते: । ते कथं विविधान् धर्मान् ज्ञास्यन्ते हीनयोनय:,विपाशा (व्यास) नदीमें दो पिशाच रहते हैं। एकका नाम है बहि और दूसरेका नाम है हीक। इन्हीं दोनोंकी संतानें बाहीक कहलाती हैं। ब्रह्माजीने इनकी सृष्टि नहीं की है। वे नीच योनिमें उत्पन्न हुए मनुष्य नाना प्रकारके धर्मोंको कैसे जानेंगे?
Transliteration
tayor apatyaṃ vāhīkā naiṣā sṛṣṭiḥ prajāpateḥ | te kathaṃ vividhān dharmān jñāsyante hīna-yonayaḥ ||
Translation
Karna said: “The Vāhīkas are the offspring of those two; this is not a creation of Prajāpati. How could people born of a base womb ever understand the many forms of dharma?”
