Whereas the fruits of knowledge and ascetic observances are seen, virtue and vice can never be devoid of fruits. Recollect, O Krishna, the circumstances of your birth, as you have heard and also the manner in which the powerful Dhristadyumna was born.
ह नायमफलोधर्मो नाधर्मोऽफलवानपि। दृश्यन्तेऽपि हि विद्यानां फलानि तपसां तथा॥ त्वमात्मनो विजानीहि जन्म कृष्णेयथा श्रुतम्। वेत्थ चापि यथा जातोधृष्टद्युम्नः प्रतापवान्॥
