Translation
Wika ni Bhīṣma: “Ang ginhawa at hirap, ang di-pagkamit at pagkamal ng yaman, ang pagkagiliw at pagkasuklam, ang kamatayan at ang buhay—lahat ng ito’y nakatali sa itinakda ng kapalaran. Sa pagkaunawang ito ayon sa katotohanan, isinasagawa ko nang may kalinisan ng loob ang ‘panatang ahas-piton’ (ājagara-vrata).”
