Shloka 47
त॑ द्रक्ष्यसि परिशभ्रष्टं तस्मात् त्वमचिरादिव । ऐश्वर्यमदसम्मूढं बलिं लोकत्रयादिव,इसलिये आप शीघ्र ही उस ऐश्वर्यमदसे मूढ दुर्योधनको त्रिभुवनके साम्राज्यसे गिरे हुए बलिकी भाँति इस राज्यसे भ्रष्ट होते देखियेगा
taṁ drakṣyasi pariśabhraṣṭaṁ tasmāt tvam acirād iva | aiśvaryamada-sammūḍhaṁ baliṁ loka-trayād iva ||
ヴィドゥラは宣言する。「ほどなく汝は、権勢の酔いに惑わされたドゥルヨーダナが、その国を失い墜ちるのを見るであろう。三界の主権から投げ落とされたバリのごとくに。支配への驕りは道義の盲目であり、必ず没落に帰する—ゆえに時を失わず自制し、ダルマに従え。」
