Dhritarashtra said Those men who are freed from desire for all articles of enjoyment, who abstain from meat, who never take up the rod of punishment, and never inflict the least harm on mobile and immobile creatures, who have formed themselves the soul of all creatures, who never accost others by pronouncing blessings upon them, who are entirely freed from the idea of mineness, who are shorn of attachments for every thing, who view profit and loss as also praise and blame in equal light, only those men, O great Rishi, go to such regions. I shall go to a higher region. Indeed, Dhritarashtra shall not go there.
धृतराष्ट्र उवाच ये सर्वभूतेषु निवृत्तकामा अमांसादा न्यस्तदण्डाश्चरन्ति। न हिंसन्ति स्थावरं जङ्गमं च भूतानां ये सर्वभूतात्मभूताः॥ निराशिषो निर्ममा वीतरागा लाभालाभे तुल्यनिन्दाप्रशंसाः। तथाविधानामेष लोको महर्षे परं गन्ता धृतराष्ट्रो न तत्र॥
