Dhritarashtra said My knowledge of life and death is the same as yours. The truth of this is well known to me. But men lose (good) judgement in things which concern their interest. O sire, know me to be an ordinary man.
धृतराष्ट्र उवाच यथा भवान् वेत्ति तथैव वेत्ता भावाभावौ विदितौ मे यथार्थो। कौरवाः॥ स्वार्थे हि सम्मुह्यति तात लोको मां चापि लोकात्मकमेव विद्धि॥
