41.18

kuryāmapūrvaṃ na kṛtaṃ yadanyair vivitsamānaḥ kim u tatra sādhuḥ
bruvāṇamevaṃ nṛpatiṃ yayātiṃ nṛpottamo vasumānabravīt tam //

Then King Vasumân addressed Yayâti who was talking like that.—18.
A Taluqdar of Oudh 1916, The Matsya Puranam

Yayâti.—"King! an equally valiant king does not accept help and support from his compeer. A king, even getting into trouble through accident, should never do anything undignified. The thinker of Dharma, the knower of Dharma and fame, the learned like myself should never do such a thing as you wish me to do. What has not been done before, I can never do now.”—16-17.
A Taluqdar of Oudh 1916, The Matsya Puranam
