Mahabharata 7.116.49 — Drona Parva, Adhyaya 116, Shloka 49
Śaineya’s Breakthrough and Reunion with Arjuna (शैनेयस्य समागमः)
सुहृदां हितकामानां वाक््यं यो न शूणोति ह । स महद् व्यसन प्राप्प शोचते वै यथा भवान्,जो हितैषी सुहृदोंकी बात नहीं सुनता है, वह भारी संकटमें पड़कर आपके ही समान शोक करता है
suhṛdāṁ hitakāmānāṁ vākyaṁ yo na śṛṇoti ha | sa mahad vyasanaṁ prāpya śocati vai yathā bhavān ||
संजय म्हणाला—जो हितकामी सुहृदांचे वचन ऐकत नाही, तो मोठ्या संकटात पडून तुमच्याप्रमाणेच शोक करतो.
संजय उवाच
