Translation
Disse Bhīṣma: “Ó Yudhishthira, aquele que toma providências de antemão contra perigos ainda por vir chama-se anāgatavidhātā; e aquele cuja inteligência se ergue prontamente para enfrentar uma crise imediata chama-se pratyutpannamati. Só esses dois prosperam com facilidade; mas o procrastinador, que arrasta as coisas, perece.”
