“सेवा ही परमं धर्म यत्र राज्यस्य सत्त्वतः। तस्मात्सेवां परित्यज्य राज्यमार्जुन धर्मतः।।”
(Mahabharata, Vana Parva, 23.22)
Translation: “Service is the highest duty; and there, where the sovereignty is righteous, it is from service that it derives its strength. Therefore, O Arjuna, give up this kingdom for the sake of righteousness.”
