धर्मादर्थः प्रभवति धर्मात्प्रभवते सुखम् । धर्मेण लभते सर्वं धर्मसारमिदं जगत् ॥ ३-९-३१

Righteousness brings wealth. Wealth brings happiness. Righteousness brings everything. In fact, the essence of the world is righteousness. [3-9-31]

स्त्रीचापलादेतदुदाहृतं मे धर्मं च वक्तुं तव कः समर्थः । विचार्य बुद्ध्या तु सहानुजेन यद्रोचते तत्कुरु मा चिरेण ॥ ३-९-३४

I told you all this out of feminine fickleness. Who can guide you in the ways of dharma? After carefully deliberating the matter with your brother you may act according to your wish. Let there be no delay (hesitation).' [3-9-34]]
