yathāyaṃ vihito dharmo yataścāyaṃ sanātanaḥ |
yathā ca prāha kaunteyastathā dharmo na saṃśayaḥ || 19 ||

"When they had all finished speaking, Vyasa said, 'O amiable one, how shall thou be saved from the consequence of untruth? Even this is eternal virtue! I will not, O king of the Panchalas, discourse on this before you all. But thou alone shalt listen to me when I disclose how this practice hath been established and why it is to be regarded as old and eternal. There is no doubt that what Yudhishthira hath said is quite conformable to virtue.'
