Yudhishthira said: Absence of cruelty is the highest virtue. The religion of the three (Vedas) always bears fruit. The mind, if subdued, does not lead to misery and friendship with the righteous never breaks.
युधिष्ठिर उवाच आनृशंस्यं परो धर्मस्त्रयोधर्मः सदाफलः। मनो यम्य न शोचन्ति संधिः सद्भिर्न जीर्यते॥
