17.3.9

yudhiṣṭhira uvāca |
anāryamāryeṇa sahasranetra śakyaṃ kartuṃ duṣkarametadārya |
mā me śriyā saṃgamanaṃ tayāstu yasyāḥ kṛte bhaktajanaṃ tyajeyam || 9 ||

"Yudhishthira said, ‘O thou of a 1,000 eyes. O thou that art of righteous behaviour, it is exceedingly difficult for one that is of righteous behaviour to perpetrate an act that is unrighteous. I do not desire that union with prosperity for which I shall have to cast off one that is devoted to me.’

Kisari Mohan Ganguli 1883, The Mahabharata of Krishna-Dwaipayana Vyasa
