उपवासकृशो राजा भृशं भरतसत्तम: । ब्राह्मे बले स्थितो होष न क्षात्रे हि बले विभुः,“भरतकुलशिरोमणि राजा युधिष्ठिर उपवास करनेसे अत्यन्त दुर्बल हो गये हैं। ये ब्राह्मबलमें स्थित हैं, क्षात्रबल प्रकट करनेमें समर्थ नहीं हैं
Transliteration
upavāsa-kṛśo rājā bhṛśaṃ bharata-sattamaḥ | brāhme bale sthito hoṣa na kṣātre hi bale vibhuḥ ||
Translation
Sañjaya disse: “Aquele rei—o mais eminente entre os Bharatas—foi grandemente emagrecido pelo jejum. Agora permanece na força bramânica (a força da contenção e da disciplina espiritual) e não consegue manifestar o vigor do kṣatriya na batalha.”
