Mahabharata 7.116.23 — Drona Parva, Adhyaya 116, Shloka 23
Śaineya’s Breakthrough and Reunion with Arjuna (शैनेयस्य समागमः)
असत्कारभृतस्तात मम सैन्ये न विद्यते । कर्मणा हानुरूपेण लभ्यते भक्तवेतनम्,तात! मेरी सेनामें कोई भी ऐसा नहीं है, जिसे अनादरपूर्वक रखा गया हो। सबको उनके कार्यके अनुरूप ही भोजन और वेतन प्राप्त होता है
asatkārabhṛtas tāta mama sainye na vidyate | karmaṇā hānurūpeṇa labhyate bhaktavetanam ||
สัญชัยกล่าวว่า—ท่านผู้เป็นที่รัก ในกองทัพของข้าไม่มีผู้ใดถูกเลี้ยงดูด้วยความดูหมิ่น; ทุกคนได้รับเสบียงและค่าจ้างตามสัดส่วนแห่งหน้าที่ที่ตนกระทำ

Sañjaya, reporting events and attitudes within the Kaurava camp, asserts that no soldier in their army is kept in a state of dishonor; provisions and pay are distributed according to each person’s work.
