English: If the man when vilified by another vilifies him in return; if the injured man returns his injuries; if the chastised man chastises in return; if fathers kill their sons and sons their fathers; and if husbands destroy their wives and wives their husbands; then, how can, O Krishna, births take place in this world where anger so predominates? Know you, O fair damsel, that birth of creatures in this world, is dependent upon peace.
Sanskrit: ताः क्षिपेरन् प्रजाः सर्वाः क्षिप्रं द्रौपदि तादृशे। तस्मान्मन्युर्विनाशाय प्रजानामभवाय च॥
