Dhritarashtra said The gods prefer those born of high families, and so also those who equally recognise virtue and worldly good and those that are deeply learned. I ask you, O Vidura, this question, "Who are those born in high families?"
धृतराष्ट्र उवाच महाकुलेभ्यः स्पृहयन्ति देवा धर्मार्थनित्याश्च बहुश्रुताश्चा पृच्छामि त्वां विदुर प्रश्नमेतं भवन्ति वै कानि महाकुलानि॥
