कथं कार्यं परीक्षेत शीघ्रं वाथ चिरेण वा । सर्वथा कार्यदुर्गेऽस्मिन्भवान्नः परमो गुरुः ॥
English Scholarly Translation
Yudhishthira said You, O grandfather, are our highest preceptor in the matter of all acts which it is difficult to perform. I ask, how should one judge of an act regarding one's obligation to do it or of abstaining from it? Is it to be judged quickly or with delay?
