Vyāsa’s Counsel to Dhṛtarāṣṭra on Restraining Duryodhana (व्यास-धृतराष्ट्र-उपदेशः)
युराभिरुवाच यदि पुत्रसहस््राणि सर्वत्र समतैव मे । दीनस्यथ तु सतः शक्र पुत्रस्याभ्यधिका कृपा,सुरभि बोली--देवेन्द्र! यदि मेरे सहस्ौरों पुत्र हैं, तो मैं उन सबके प्रति समानभाव ही रखती हूँ; परंतु दीन-दुःखी पुत्रके प्रति अधिक दया उमड़ आती है
surabhir uvāca—yadi putrasahasrāṇi sarvatra samataiva me | dīnasya tu sataḥ śakra putrasyābhyadhikā kṛpā ||
スラビーは言った。「釈迦羅（インドラ）よ。たとえ我に幾千の子があろうとも、彼らへの心は等しい。だが、ひとりが無力に苦しむとき、その苦患の子に対しては、より大きな憐れみが自然と湧き上がるのだ。」
शक्र उवाच
