The high-souled of Dharma (Yudhisthira) is (now) bound by the obligation of the rules of morality. The ways of Dharma is subtle. Those only can ascertain them who son possess great clearness of vision. Forgetting his virtue, I am unwilling to admit even an atom of fault in my husband (Yudhisthira.)
नृशंसकर्मंस्त्वमनार्यवृत्त मा मा विवस्त्रां कुरु मा विकर्षीः। न मर्षयेद्युस्तव राजपुत्राः सेन्द्राश्च देवा यदि ते सहायाः॥ धर्मे स्थितो धर्मसुतो महात्मा धर्मश्च सूक्ष्मो निपुणोपलक्ष्यः। मिच्छामि दोषं न गुणान् विसृज्य॥
