A man is the slave of wealth, but wealth is no one's slave. This is very true, O king, and bound I have been with wealth by the Kauravas. I must, O king, fight for their sake. This is my opinion. I therefore, speak like a eunuch in asking thee,--Battle excepted, what dost thou desire?' > — Kisari Mohan Ganguli 1883, The Mahabharata of Krishna-Dwaipayana Vyasa - [Previous: 6.41.65](https://indike.org/pramana/in.lit.mahabharata.vyasa.6.41.65) - [Next: 6.41.67](https://indike.org/pramana/in.lit.mahabharata.vyasa.6.41.67) - [Up: 6.41](https://indike.org/pramana/in.lit.mahabharata.vyasa.6.41) ## Translations (1) - [The Mahabharata of Krishna-Dwaipayana Vyasa](https://indike.org/pramana/in.lit.mahabharata.vyasa~en-ganguli.6.43.26) — Kisari Mohan Ganguli 1883, English --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.lit.mahabharata.vyasa.6.41.66](https://indike.org/pramana/in.lit.mahabharata.vyasa.6.41.66) · Pramāṇa
