विग्रहो हि महाप्राज्ञ स्वजनेन विगर्हितः ॥
अधर्म्यम् अयशस्यं च मा राजन् प्रतिपद्यथाः ॥
समीक्षा यादृशी ह्य् अस्य पाण्डवान् प्रति भारत ॥

'Strife with one's own kin, O greatly wise one, is blameworthy, contrary to dharma, and inglorious; do not enter into it, O king. The way he looks upon the Pandavas, if left unheeded, will lead to great calamity. Or else let this evil son of yours go alone, without helpers, into the forest together with the Pandavas; if from association with them affection is born in your son, you will have achieved your purpose this very day, O lord of men. But it is said that whatever character accompanies one's birth does not depart until death. How, then, would Bhishma, Drona, Vidura, and you yourself judge the right course, before the matter oversteps its limit?'
