Shloka 24
Vṛtra’s Cosmic Threat, Viṣṇu’s Upāya, and the Conditional Vulnerability
Udyoga-parva 10
Devanagari script
दृढं सतां संगतं चापि नित्यं ब्रूयाच्चार्थ हार्थकृच्छेषु धीरः । महार्थवत् सत्पुरुषेण संगतं तस्मात् सन््तं न जिघांसेत धीर:
Translation
ਸੱਜਣਾਂ ਦੀ ਸੰਗਤ ਦ੍ਰਿੜ੍ਹ ਅਤੇ ਚਿਰਸਥਾਈ ਹੁੰਦੀ ਹੈ। ਧੀਰ ਸੰਤ-ਮਹਾਤਮਾ ਸੰਕਟ ਵੇਲੇ ਹਿਤਕਾਰੀ ਕਰਤੱਬ ਦੀ ਹੀ ਸਿੱਖਿਆ ਦਿੰਦੇ ਹਨ। ਸਤਪੁਰਖਾਂ ਦੀ ਸੰਗਤ ਮਹਾਨ ਅਭੀਸ਼ਟਾਂ ਨੂੰ ਸਾਧਦੀ ਹੈ; ਇਸ ਲਈ ਬੁੱਧੀਮਾਨ ਮਨੁੱਖ ਨੂੰ ਸੱਜਣਾਂ ਦੇ ਨਾਸ ਦੀ ਇੱਛਾ ਨਹੀਂ ਕਰਨੀ ਚਾਹੀਦੀ।
