It is said that a (certain) king, having (first) made some wild birds which used to vomit gold to take up their quarters in his own house, killed them afterwards from temptation. O chastiser of foes, blinded by temptation and by the desire of enjoyinent he destroyed both his present and future for the sake of the gold. O king, O monarch like that king, do not persecute the Pandavas from the desire of gain.
हिरण्यष्ठीविनः कांश्चित् पक्षिणो वनगोचरान्। गृहे किल कृतावासान् लोभाद् राजा न्यपीडयत्। स चोपभोगलोभान्धो हिरण्यार्थी परंतप॥ आयतिं च तदात्वं च उभे सद्यो व्यनाशयत्। तदर्थकामस्तद्वत् त्वं मा दुहः पाण्डवान् नृप॥
