Shloka 19
Udyoga-parva Adhyāya 71 — Kṣatra-dharma Counsel, Public Legitimacy, and Mobilization
Devanagari script
ह्वीरहता बाधते धर्म धर्मो हन्ति हत: श्रियम् श्रीहता पुरुषं हन्ति पुरुषस्याधनं वध:,नष्ट हुई लज्जा धर्मको नष्ट कर देती है। नष्ट हुआ धर्म मनुष्यकी सम्पत्तिका नाश कर देता है और नष्ट हुई सम्पत्ति उस मनुष्यका विनाश कर देती है, क्योंकि धनका अभाव ही मनुष्यका वध है
Translation
Yudhiṣṭhira berkata: “Apabila rasa malu telah musnah, ia meruntuhkan dharma. Dharma yang runtuh memusnahkan kekayaan. Kekayaan yang musnah membinasakan manusia itu sendiri—kerana ketiadaan harta itulah seakan-akan pembunuhan bagi seorang insan.”
