tasmādevaṃ varjanīyaṃ narendra duṣṭaṃ loke garhaṇīyaṃ ca karma
ākhyātaṃ te pārthiva sarvametad bhūyaścedānīṃ vada kiṃ te vadāmi //
Yayâti.—“King! Most of them fall to the earth and many of them fall so low that they are ultimately feasted upon by vultures and jackals. Consequently, it is meet for kings to always keep themselves aloof from forbidden things. I have explained all this to you; what more do you wish to enquire about?”—4-5.
