3.35.20

śriyaṃ ca loke labhate samagrāṃ manye cāsmai śatravaḥ saṃnamante |
mitrāṇi cainamatirāgādbhajante devā ivendramanujīvanti cainam || 20 ||

His enemies bow down unto him, and his friends gather round him, like the celestials clustering round Indra for protection. But know, O Bhima, my promise can never be untrue. I regard virtue as superior to life itself and a blessed state of celestial existence. Kingdom, sons, fame, wealth,--all these do not come up to even a sixteenth part of truth.'

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