Yudhishthira said To which of two Brahmanas, when both happen to be equally pure in conduct, equally, gifted with learning and purity, of birth and blood, but differing from each other in only this, viz., the one solicits and the other does not-I ask O grandfather, would a gift be more meritorious?
युधिष्ठिर उवाच यौ च स्यातां चरणेनोपपन्नौ यौ विद्यया सदृशौ जन्मना चा मयाचमानाय च याचते च॥।॥
