Bhishma said Virtue is sometimes seen to be destroyed by a wicked man of great power. If you think, O king, that virtue should really be of three sorts. I answer that your conclusion is supported by reason.
भीष्म उवाच धर्मस्य ह्रियमाणस्य बलवद्भिर्दुरात्मभिः। यद्येवं मन्यसे राजंस्त्रिधा धर्मविचारणा॥
