VANA PARVA
 
'आगच्छेयमहं द्यूतमनाहूतोऽपि कौरवैः ।

वारयेयमहं द्यूतं बहुहून्दोषान्प्रदर्शयन् ॥
 
167
 

"I would have come to that game of

dice, though not invited by the Kauravas ;

pointing out ( its ) many evils, I would

have prevented the game.
 

 
'स्त्रियोऽक्षा मृगया पानमेतत्कामसमुत्थितम् ।

दुःखं चतुष्टयं प्रोक्तं यैर्नरो भ्रश्यते श्रियः ॥
 
66
 

'Women, gambling, hunting, and drink-

ing, these are said to be the four vices

born of passion, by which man is thrown

down from prosperity.
 

 
'एकाहाद् द्रव्यनाशोऽत्र ध्रुवं व्यसनमेव च ।

अभुक्तनाश्चार्थानां वाक्पारुष्यं च केवलम् ॥ '

"By this will result loss of property in a

day and certain grief ; and loss of wealth,

without one enjoying it and mere violence

of words."
 

 
एवमुक्त्वा महाबाहुः कौरवं पुरुषोत्तमः ।

सुभद्रामभिमन्युं च रथमारोप्य काञ्चनम् ।

द्वारकां प्रययौ कृष्णः, धृष्टद्युम्नोऽपि पार्षतः।

द्रौपदेयानुपादाय प्रययौ स्वपुरं तदा ॥
