yudhiṣṭhira uvāca |
bhadre tūṣṇīmāssva niyaccha vācaṃ māsmatsakāśe paruṣāṇyavocaḥ |
rājāno vā yadi vā rājaputrā balena mattā vañcanāṃ prāpnuvanti || 21 ||

Yudhishthira said, 'Retire, good woman, and control thy tongue. Speak not this way before us. Kings or princes, whoever are infatuated with the possession of power, are sure to come to grief!'"
