śiṣya uvāca |
ke doṣā manasā tyaktāḥ ke buddhyā śithilīkṛtāḥ |
ke punaḥ punarāyānti ke mohādaphalā iva || 25 ||

"Yudhishthira said, 'What faults are abandoned by persons desirous of Emancipation? What are those that are weakened by them? What are the faults that come repeatedly (and are, therefore, incapable of being got rid of)? What, again, are regarded as weak, through stupefaction (and, therefore, as permissible)? What, indeed, are those faults upon whose strength and weakness a wise man should reflect with the aid of intelligence and of reasons? I have doubts upon these subjects. Discourse to me on these, O grandsire!'
