Sanskrit Text

युद्धशास्त्रविदेव त्वं वृद्धाः सेवितास्त्वया समासविस्तरविदां तेषां वेत्सि निश्चयम्

English Translation

You are, a master of the science of battle, but you have never waited upon the aged. You know not the conclusions arrived at by those that have studied the subject briefly and fully. The conclusion of intelligent men who want salvation, is that of ascetic penances, renunciation, and knowledge of Brahma, the second is superior to the first, and the third is superior to the second.
