Udyoga Parva 63: Dhṛtarāṣṭra’s Counsel Reminding Duryodhana of Opponent Strength
Devanagari script
ये सम काले सुमनस: सर्वे वृद्धानुपासते । सिंहगुप्तमिवारण्यमप्रधृष्या भवन्ति ते
Translation
Ang mga taong may dalisay na puso at mahinahong diwa, na sa tamang panahon ay patuloy na naglilingkod at lumalapit sa mga nakatatanda, ay nagiging mahirap salakayin—gaya ng gubat na binabantayan ng leon, na hindi nilalapitan ng kaaway.
