dhṛtarāṣṭra uvāca |
na cedvedā vedavidaṃ śaktāstrātuṃ vicakṣaṇa |
atha kasmātpralāpo'yaṃ brāhmaṇānāṃ sanātanaḥ || 4 ||
"Dhritarashtra said, 'O thou that hast restrained thy senses, if, indeed, the Vedas are not competent to rescue a person without the aid of virtue, whence then is this delusion of the Brahmanas that the Vedas are always destructive of sins?'
