यदा प्रमाणं प्रसव: स्वभावश्च सुखासुखे । दंशकीटपिपीलानां स्थिरो भव युधिछिर
Translation
Wika ni Bhīṣma: “Yudhiṣṭhira! Ang pagsilang, ang sukat ng kapalaran, at ang likas na ugali ang nagdadala ng ligaya at dalamhati. Maging ang lamok, mga insekto, at mga langgam ay isinisilang sa kani-kanilang anyo at tumatanggap ng saya at sakit ayon sa likas na ugaling hinubog ng sarili nilang karma. Sa pagninilay nito, maging matatag ka.”
