Dhritarashtra said O Khattwa, if fate be not unfavourable to me, this quarrel will not certainly grieve me. The whole universe moves at the will of its creator, but (it moves) under the controlling influence of Fate. It is not free.
धृतराष्ट्र उवाच नेह क्षत्तः कलहस्तप्स्यते मां न चेद् दैवं प्रतिलोमं भविष्यत्। धाग तु दिष्टस्य वशे किलेदं सर्वं जगच्चेष्टति न स्वतन्त्रतम्॥
