When, O Kunti, sovereignty has been acquired, and when the time has coine for you to enjoy that sovereignty thus acquired by your children, when the duties of royalty await discharge by you, whence has this desire entered into your mind?
यदा राज्यमिदं कुन्ति भोक्तव्यं पुत्रनिर्जितम्। प्राप्तव्या राजधर्माश्च तदेयं ते कुतो मतिः॥
