sanskrit

'O Yudhishthira, it is often from the desire to win, which may not always be noble, that one high-born person challenges another in a contest of superiority. Similarly, the desire to outshine, which is not always honorable, drives one learned person to compete with another in matters of knowledge. However, such motives are seldom considered truly dishonest.' ।। 2-53-11 ।।
