People will mark this your forsaking of the kingdom for redeeming the vows of your father, with opprobrium. Who else, save you, even thinks of compassing the desires of the monarch and the queen Kaikeyî who are of unrestrained habits, ever intent on our mischief and are our enemies known by the name of parents. Even if their throwing obstacles in the way of your installation you considers, as the inevitable action of Destiny, pray disregard it, that does not please me. He, who is tremulous, weak and powerless, follows the track of Destiny; they pay no regard to it who are mighty heroes and whose। prowess is held in esteem by the people.
तवायं धर्मसंयोगो लोकस्यास्य विगर्हितः। मनसापि कथं कामं कुर्यात् त्वां कामवृत्तयोः। तयोस्त्वहितयोर्नित्यं शञ्चोः पित्रभिधानयोः॥ यद्यपि प्रतिपत्तिस्ते दैवी चापि तयोर्मतम्। तथाप्युपेक्षणीयं ते न मे तदपि रोचते॥ विक्लवो वीर्यहीनो यः स दैवमनुवर्तते। वीराः सम्भावितात्मानो न दैवं पर्युपासते।।१६
