The wise should never undertake all those works which give affliction to people. O elder brother of Lakşmaņa, it is proper to take wise counsels even from a boy. O you of great strength, I therefore, hear your speech
लोकपीडाकरं कर्म न कर्तव्यं विचक्षणैः। बालानां तु शुभं वाक्यं ग्राह्यं लक्ष्मणपूर्वज। तस्माच्छृणोमि ते वाक्यं साधु युक्तं महाबल।।२०
