Sanjaya said O monarch, do you now reflect upon your past actions, that were most righteous (the game at dice and others of the kind). Man afterwards reflects upon all actions that had past away. But that however, one should not do. For, one is destroyed by that sort of reflection.
संजय उवाच राजन् पूर्वनिमित्तानि धर्मिष्ठानि विचिन्तय॥ अतिक्रान्तं हि यत् कार्य पश्चाचिन्तयते नरः। तचास्य न भवेत् कार्य चिन्तया च विनश्यति॥
