Shloka 34
धृतराष्ट्रस्य पश्चात्तापः तथा वनप्रस्थानानुज्ञा | Dhṛtarāṣṭra’s Remorse and Request for Forest-Retirement
Devanagari script
सदा चापररात्रान्ते भवेत् कार्यार्थनिर्णय: । मध्यरात्रे विहारस्ते मध्याह्ले च सदा भवेत्,“पहरभर रात बाकी रहते ही उठकर अगले दिनके कार्य-क्रमका निश्चय कर लेना चाहिये। आधी रात और दोपहरके समय तुम्हें स्वयं घूम-फिरकर प्रजाकी अवस्थाका निरीक्षण करना उचित है
Translation
“E, ao fim da noite, deve haver sempre a decisão quanto aos assuntos a resolver. À meia-noite e também ao meio-dia, convém que tu mesmo saias a percorrer e a observar o estado do povo.”
