Bhima said : O great king, being mortal and unsubstantial as froth, unstable as fruit and dependant on time, how can you consider of any avail your having made an agreement in respect of Time, which is infinite and immeasurable, which passes as quickly as an arrow or a stream, carrying everything before it like death itself?
भीमसेन उवाच संधिं कृत्वैव कालेन ह्यन्तकेन पतत्त्रिणा। अनन्तेनाप्रमेयेण स्रोतसा सर्वहारिणा॥ प्रत्यक्षं मन्यसे कालं मर्त्यः सन् कालबन्धनः। फेनधर्मा महाराज फलधर्मा तथैव च॥
