Shloka 11
Devanagari script
न वत्वियं मादृशैर्नीतिस्तस्यथ वाच्या कथंचन । सा वत्वियं साधु वक्तव्या न त्वनीति: कथंचन,'युधिष्ठिरकी जो नीति है, उसकी मेरे-जैसे पुरुषोंको कभी निन्दा नहीं करनी चाहिये। उसे अच्छी नीति ही कहनी चाहिये, अनीति कहना किसी प्रकार ठीक नहीं है
Translation
ユディシュティラのニーティを、私のような者が決して非難してはならぬ。それはただ「善きニーティ」と呼ぶべきであり、いかなる意味でも「アニーティ（非道）」と言うのは正しくない。
