If I enter (the room) where the king is, an exile in the forest will be my lot. But I must overlook every thing. I do not care if I am to incur sin by disregarding the king. I care not if I am to go to the forest and die there. Virtue is superior to body and it lasts after the body perishes.
अनुप्रवेशे राज्ञस्तु वनवासो भवेन्मम। सर्वमन्यत् परिहतं धर्षणात् तु महीपतेः॥ अधर्मो वै महानस्तु वने वा मरणं मम। शरीरस्य विनाशेन धर्म एव विशिष्यते॥
