- If the honour be due to age, then Vasudeva can claim it before his son;
- if it is due to the foremost rajah, then Drupada should be honoured;
- if it is due to wisdom, Drona is the most worthy;
- if it is due to holiness, Vyasa is the greatest.
- Drona's son hath more knowledge than Krishna,
- Duryodhana is peerless among younger men,
- Kripa is the worthiest priest, and
- Karna the greatest archer.
'Whatever is to be found elsewhere will also be found here, and anything not contained here will not be found anywhere else.'
