The Bhagavan has renounced attachment, aversion, and other internal possessions, and is even detached from his own body. How then can he give you both, who are desirous of enjoyment? ||114|| Therefore, it is useless to approach the Lord, who is striving only for liberation. You both are desirous of enjoyment, so go to Bharata and worship him. ||115|| When the Dharanendra had finished speaking, the two Kumars, bowing low, replied to him: "What is your interest in the affairs of others? You are wise, so go away silently from here. ||116|| For we know what is right and what is wrong in this matter, but you are ignorant, so go where you please. ||117|| "These are old and these are young," this distinction is made only by age. There is no increase of knowledge in old age, nor is there any decrease of intelligence in youth. On the contrary, it is seen that with the ripening of age, there is often a dullness of intelligence in old age, and in the first stage, the intelligence of virtuous men usually increases. ||118-119|| Neither youth nor old age is a cause of fault or virtue, for the moon, even when new, delights men, and fire, even when old (on the verge of being extinguished), burns. ||120|| He who speaks without being asked is considered very presumptuous. We do not wish to ask you for such a task, so why do you speak in between? ||121|| You, who are of a despicable character, deceive people by giving instructions without being asked, and by speaking very false and harmful flattery. ||122|| The tongue of the wise never speaks impurely, even in dreams, their actions never harm others, and their memory is never harsh to destroy others. ||123||
