"There is no other archer in the world equal to him. By my grace Bibhatsu has surpassed all other bowmen. A betrayer of friends, a man of wicked heart, an unbeliever, crooked and deceitful, gains no honor among the worthy, like a fool who has come to a sacrifice. A sinful man, even when restrained from evil, still desires evil; a good man, even when pressed toward evil, still desires good. O best of the Bharatas, vices wrongly indulged for the sake of pleasure end by becoming the cause of ruin. You have been counseled by the elder of the Kurus, by me, by Vidura, and by Vasudeva as well, yet you still do not accept the better path."
