भीम उवाच । सम्यगुक्तं केशवेन वाक्यं बह्वर्थमुत्तमम् । राज्ञा पुनः स्नेहवशाद्यदुक्तं तन्न भाति मे
Transliteration
bhīma uvāca | samyaguktaṃ keśavena vākyaṃ bahvarthamuttamam | rājñā punaḥ snehavaśādyaduktaṃ tanna bhāti me
Translation
ഭീമൻ പറഞ്ഞു—കേശവൻ ശരിയായി പറഞ്ഞു; അവന്റെ വചനങ്ങൾ ഉത്തമവും ബഹ്വർത്ഥസമ്പന്നവുമാണ്. എന്നാൽ രാജാവ് സ്നേഹവശാൽ പറഞ്ഞത് എനിക്ക് രുചിക്കുന്നില്ല.
