Yudhishthira said I do not, for a moment, seek the happiness of sovereignty itself for its own sake. I desire it, however, for the sake of the merit one may gain from it. It seems to me that it has no merit.
युधिष्ठिर उवाच नाहं राज्यसुखान्वेषी राज्यमिच्छाम्यपि क्षणम्। धर्मार्थं रोचये राज्यं धर्मश्चात्र न विद्यते॥
