8.3.41

dyūte tu jitam evākṣaviduṣā yathā jayatsenaduryodhanābhyām" iti //

Pisuna says that of hunting and gambling, hunting is a worse vice; for falling into the hand of robbers, enemies and elephants, getting into wild fire, fear, inability to distinguish between the cardinal points, hunger, thirst and loss of life are evils consequent upon hunting, whereas in gambling, the expert gambler wins a victory like Jayatsena and Duryodhana.

R. Shamasastry 1915, Kautilya's Arthaśāstra
