Dhritarashtra said If the Vedas, without the aid of virtue, are not competent to rescue (men from sins), 0 you, who have control over your senses, then whence is this false and old idea of the Brahmanas (that a knowledge of the Vedas rescues a man from sins)?
धृतराष्ट्र उवाच न चेद् वेदा विना धर्मं त्रातुं शक्ता विचक्षण। अथ कस्मात् प्रलापोऽयं ब्राह्मणानां सनातनः॥
