*devayānyuvāca
adharmeṇa jito dharmaḥ pravṛttamadharottaram
śarmiṣṭhā yātivṛttāsti duhitā vṛṣaparvaṇaḥ //

Then Devayânî said :—“Father! righteousness has been conquered by unrighteousness, because this king has begotten three sons from Śarmiṣṭhâ, that discarded daughter of Vṛiṣaparvan, whilst he has begotten only two from my unfortunate self. Father! this king is called righteous, but he is the transgressor of the bounds of virtue.”—28-30.
