समस्थॊ विषमस्थान हि दुर्हृदॊ यॊ ऽभिवीक्षते जगतीस्थान इवाद्रिस्थः किं ततः परमं सुखम ॥ ३-२२६-१७ ॥

'What happiness can be more complete than that which he enjoys, who, while himself in prosperity, looks upon his foes in adversity, like a person on the hilltop looking down upon another crawling on the earth?' ॥ 3-226-17 ॥

न पुत्र धनलाभेन न राज्येनापि विन्दति परीतिं नृपतिशार्दूल याम अमित्राघ दर्शनात ॥ ३-२२६-१८ ॥

किं नु तस्य सुखं न सयाद आश्रमे यॊ धनंजयम अभिवीक्षेत सिद्धार्थॊ वकलाजिन वाससम ॥ ३-२२६-१९ ॥

सुवाससॊ हि ते भार्या वकलाजिन वाससम पश्यन्त्व असुखितां कृष्णां सा च निर्विद्यतां पुनः विनिन्दतां तथात्मानं जीवितं च धनच्युता ॥ ३-२२६-२० ॥

'Let thy wife, dressed in costly robes, look upon the woeful Krishna clad in barks and deer-skins, and thereby increase his grief! Let the daughter of Drupada reproach herself and her life, being divested of wealth.' ॥ 3-226-20 ॥
