/0 vidura uvāca

2. Vidura said:—Men do Karma (prescribed duties) for the sake of happiness, but do not thereby attain happiness or the other thing, *i.e.*, the absence of it (*i.e.* misery); or rather they (are seen to) attain misery again and again; hence may your worship be pleased to tell us what is the proper (course to follow) here (in Samsara.)
