saṃmuhyāmi viṣīdāmi dharmo me śithilīkṛtaḥ |
udyamaṃ nādhigacchāmi kutaścitparicintayan || 2 ||
"Yudhishthira said, 'If that which is so horrible and which like falsehood should never be an object of regard, be cited (as duty), then what act is there from which I should forbear? Why also should not robbers then be respected? I am stupefied! My heart is pained! All the ties that bind me to morality are loosened! I cannot tranquillise my mind and venture to act in the way suggested by you.'
