महाभारतः mahābhārataḥ - book-3, chapter-5, verse-17

इदं त्विदानीं कुत एव निश्चितं तेषामर्थे पाण्डवानां यदात्थ ।
तेनाद्य मन्ये नासि हितो ममेति कथं हि पुत्रं पाण्डवार्थे त्यजेयम् ॥१७॥

17. idaṁ tvidānīṁ kuta eva niścitaṁ; teṣāmarthe pāṇḍavānāṁ yadāttha ,
tenādya manye nāsi hito mameti; kathaṁ hi putraṁ pāṇḍavārthe tyajeyam.

17. idam tu idānīm kutaḥ eva niścitam
teṣām arthe pāṇḍavānām yat āttha tena
adya manye na asi hitaḥ mama iti
katham hi putram pāṇḍavārthe tyajeyam

17. But how, indeed, is this now so certain—what you assert for the sake of the Pāṇḍavas? Because of this, I now believe you are not my well-wisher. For how could I abandon my own son for the sake of the Pāṇḍavas?
