Language: Sanskrit

34.16

kathaṃ śukrasya dauhitraṃ devayānyāḥ sutaṃ prabho
jyeṣṭhaṃ yadumatikramya rājyaṃ pūroḥ pradāsyasi //

“King! how do you confer this vast kingdom on Puru, overlooking prince Yadu, who is the grandson of Śukra and the eldest son from the queen Devayânî! Yadu is your eldest son, next to him is Turvasu, your third son is Druhya from the Queen Śarmiṣṭhâ, younger to him is Aṇu, whilst Puru is the youngest of all. How then are you making Puru a king, overlooking the claims of his elder brothers? O king! you should not forsake justice.”—15-18.
