Shloka 42
मृषा वाद परिहरेत् कुर्यात् प्रियमयाचित: । न च कामाज्न संरम्भान्न द्वेषाद् धर्ममुत्सूजेत्,झूठ बोलना छोड़ दे, बिना कहे ही दूसरोंका प्रिय करे, काम, क्रोध तथा द्वेषसे भी कभी धर्मका परित्याग न करे
mṛṣā-vādaṁ pariharet kuryāt priyam ayācitaḥ | na ca kāmāj na saṁrambhān na dveṣād dharmam utsṛjet ||
狩人は言った。「偽りの言葉を捨てよ。乞われずとも、他者のために喜ばしく益あることをなせ。そして欲に駆られようと、軽率な怒りと動揺に突き動かされようと、憎しみによろうと、決してダルマを捨ててはならぬ。」
