न श्रेयसे नीयतेऽजातशत्रो स्त्री श्रोत्रियस्येव गृहे प्रदुष्टा ।
ब्रुवन्न रुच्यै भरतर्षभस्य पतिः कुमार्या इव षष्टिवर्षः ॥१५॥
15. na śreyase nīyate'jātaśatro; strī śrotriyasyeva gṛhe praduṣṭā ,
bruvanna rucyai bharatarṣabhasya; patiḥ kumāryā iva ṣaṣṭivarṣaḥ.

patiḥ kumāryāḥ iva ṣaṣṭivarṣaḥ
15. "O Ajātaśatru (one whose enemies are unborn), [Dhṛtarāṣṭra's actions] do not lead to welfare, just as an unchaste wife in the house of a Vedic scholar does not lead to well-being. My words, when I speak them, do not please the Bull of Bhārata (Dhṛtarāṣṭra), just as a sixty-year-old husband does not appeal to a young girl."
