अर्हस्त्वमपि दातुं वै नादातुं भरतर्षभ । “आप अपने बड़े भाई ऐश्वर्यशशाली महाराज युधिष्छिरके बर्तावसे शिक्षा ग्रहण करें। भरतश्रेष्ठ] आप भी दूसरोंको देनेके ही योग्य हैं; दूसरोंसे लेनेके योग्य नहीं! ।।

«Ó o melhor dos Bhāratas, tu também és digno de dar, não de receber.» Ao dizer isso a Bībhatsu (Arjuna), o Rei do Dharma, Yudhiṣṭhira, também o honrou e o elogiou.
