Adipurana 'Thus, O long-lived Kumar, you should quickly go and fulfill his desire. The entire world will be united by the union of you two brothers.' ||8||
Thus, after the messenger had spoken, the clever and young Bahubali Kumar, with a slight smile, spoke words full of wisdom and courage. ||89||
He said, "O messenger, you have spoken the truth, revealing the virtuous conduct of your master. For it is right to speak what strengthens one's own opinion." ||90||
"You have shown peace, but you have also shown the difference and punishment, especially. By using them, you have shown how independent you are in achieving your goal." ||91||
"You are truly the intimate messenger of your independent master. Otherwise, how could you have revealed his heart's intention?" ||92||
"The Chakravarti has entrusted you with all the responsibilities and sent you to me. Although you are clever, it is not cleverness to dissect the heart of another." ||93||
"To show your force is the work of the wicked, and to describe your own virtues and reveal faults in others is also the work of the wicked." ||94||
"Wicked men describe the faults of others and their own virtues, and they hide their own faults and the virtues of others." ||95||
"Ignorant people take refuge in wickedness, which is like a sky vine, because just as a sky vine does not remove anyone's suffering, so too wickedness does not remove anyone's suffering. Just as a sky vine is devoid of flowers, so too wickedness is devoid of wise men, and just as a sky vine is fruitless, so too wickedness is fruitless, meaning it does not benefit anyone." ||96||
"I consider this wickedness, which is not liked by virtuous men, which is filled with bitter fruits everywhere, and which causes suffering to people, to be a vine of sorrow." ||97||
"Even if peace is used in the beginning, it is bound to be obstructed by the difference and punishment, when it comes to a man who opposes justly." ||98||
