The two are bound to one another, so that success depends on both. Having begotten sons and made them free of debt, having provided for them some means of livelihood, and having given all his maiden daughters in marriage to worthy men, a man should withdraw to the forest and wish to live like a sage. To win the favor of the Supreme Being, a man must do what serves the good of all beings as well as his own happiness, since this alone is the root of the success of all our ends. What anxiety about livelihood can trouble one endowed with intellect, energy, valor, strength, vigor and steadfastness? "Behold the evil of a breach with the Pandavas — an evil that would grieve the very gods together with Shakra. There is, first, enmity among those who are all your own sons; second, a life spent in constant anxiety; third, the loss of the fair fame of the Kurus; and finally, the joy of those who are your enemies. The wrath of Bhishma, O you who are like unto Indra, and of Drona and of King Yudhishthira, will consume the whole world, like a comet of vast size falling athwart the sky. Your hundred sons, together with Karna and the sons of Pandu, would then be able to rule the whole broad earth girdled by the seas."
