Mbh.1.142.7674 Virtue, wealth and pleasure have both their evil and good effects closely knit together.
Mbh.1.214.10481 Virtue itself is sustaining a diminution!
Mbh.1.214.10496 Virtue is superior to the body and lasteth after the body hath perished'
Mbh.2.11.439 viz, Rig, Sama, Yajuh, and Atharva; all Sciences and branches of learning; Histories and all minor branches of learning; the several branches of the Vedas; the planets, the Sacrifices, the Soma, all the deities; Savitri Gayatri, the seven kinds of rhyme; Understanding, Patience, Memory, Wisdom, Intelligence, Fame, Forgiveness; the Hymns of the Sama Veda; the Science of hymns in general, and various kinds of Verses and Songs; various Commentaries with arguments, all in their personified forms, O king, and various Dramas and Poems and Stories and abridged Glosses, these also, and many others wait upon the Supreme Deity in that Sabha, Kshanas, Lavas, Muhurtas, Day, Night, Fortnights, Months, the six Seasons, O Bharata, Years, Yugas, the four kinds of Days and Nights viz, appearing to man, to the Pitris, to the gods, and to Brahma and that eternal, indestructible, undeteriorating, excellent Wheel of Time and also the Wheel of Virtue, these always wait there.
Mbh.2.66.2879 Virtue and morality are being persecuted by such conduct.
Mbh.3.33.1661 Virtue is sometimes also the weakness of men.
Mbh.3.88.4838 Brahmanas versed in the Vedas, and persons acquainted with the philosophy of the soul say that the illustrious Krishna is eternal Virtue.
Mbh.3.119.6114 When the son of Virtue met with defeat, and when his wife, his brothers, his followers, and himself were all driven forth, and Duryodhana began to flourish, why did not the earth subside with all its hills
Mbh.3.182.9018 And he said, O king, Virtue is preferable to the winning of kingdoms; it is, in fact, practice of austerities!
Mbh.3.205.10545 Virtue that is eternal is difficult of being understood.
Mbh.3.208.10756 Virtue is thus perverted; mark thou its subtle ways.
Mbh.3.268.13034 Virtue he never forsaketh, from lust or fear or anger!
Mbh.3.304.14950 Virtue I shall never sacrifice, seeing that in this world the keeping of their persons inviolate is deemed as the highest duty of women, and is held in high regard!
Mbh.3.311.15438 The Yaksha asked, Virtue, profit, and desire are opposed to one another.
Mbh.5.30.1377 Virtue, however, is eternal, and virtue is my power for the destruction of my enemies.
Mbh.5.35.1777 Virtue, repeatedly practised, enhanceth intelligence; and the man whose intelligence hath increased, repeatedly practiseth virtue.
Mbh.5.40.2187 Virtue is everlasting; pleasure and pain are transitory; life is, indeed, everlasting but its particular phases are transitory.
Mbh.5.42.2301 Virtue, therefore, is strong, and hence the success of the man of action'
Mbh.5.85.4064 Worthy of honour at the hands of all righteous persons he is the foremost of all men, and is, indeed, eternal Virtue.

Mbh.12.58.3184 Virtue, Profit, Pleasure, and Salvation have all been treated in it'
Mbh.12.68.3870 The high aggregate of three consists of Virtue, Profit and Pleasure.
Mbh.12.90.5166 Amongst these three objects, viz, Virtue, Profit, and Pleasure, Virtue is the foremost.
Mbh.12.102.5711 Thus addressed, Vrihaspati, skilled in Virtue, Profit, and Pleasure, possessed of a knowledge of kingly duties, and endued with great intelligence, answered Indra in the following words'
Mbh.12.122.6938 SECTION CXXIII Yudhishthira said, I wish, O sire, to hear the settled conclusions on the subject of Virtue, Wealth, and Pleasure.
Mbh.12.122.6940 What are the respective roots of Virtue, Wealth, and Pleasure?
Mbh.12.122.6943 Bhishma said, When men in this world endeavour with good hearts to achieve Wealth with the aid of Virtue, then those three, viz, Virtue, Wealth, and Pleasure, may be seen to co-exist in a state of union in respect of time, cause, and action
Mbh.12.122.6944 Wealth has its root in Virtue, and Pleasure is said to be the fruit of Wealth.
Mbh.12.122.6950 It is said that Virtue is sought for the protection of the body, and Wealth is for the acquisition of Virtue.
Mbh.12.122.6953 Virtue, Wealth, and Pleasure, when sought for the sake of heaven or such other rewards, are said to be remote because the rewards themselves are remote.
Mbh.12.122.6957 If Virtue, Wealth, and Pleasure are to be abandoned, one should abandon them when one has freed one's self by ascetic penances
Mbh.12.122.6961 Virtue is not always the root of Wealth, for other things than Virtue lead to Wealth such as service, agriculture, c.
Mbh.12.122.6964 Other things again that Wealth such as fasts and vows have led to the acquisition of Virtue.
Mbh.12.122.6965 As regards this topic, therefore, a dullard whose understanding has been debased by ignorance, never succeeds in acquiring the highest aim of Virtue and Wealth, viz, Emancipation.
Mbh.12.122.6970 Kamandaka said, That man who, abandoning Virtue and Wealth pursues only Pleasure, reaps as the consequence of such conduct the destruction of his intelligence.
Mbh.12.122.6971 The destruction of intelligence is followed by heedlessness that is at once destructive of both Virtue and Wealth.
Mbh.12.137.8025 This path of policy is consistent with the aggregate of three viz, Virtue, Profit, and Pleasure, O king!
Mbh.12.138.8233 The king is the root of one's triple aggregate ie, Virtue, Wealth, and Pleasure.
Mbh.12.142.8702 The sage said, O mighty-armed monarch, listen to me as I narrate to thee this story that is fraught with truths connected with Virtue, Profit, and Pleasure.
Mbh.12.143.8761 One's spouse is one's associate in all one's acts of Virtue, Profit and Pleasure.
Mbh.12.166.9933 The king addressing his brothers with Vidura forming the fifth, said, The course of the world rests upon Virtue, Wealth, and Desire.
Mbh.12.166.9935 For subduing the triple aggregate viz, lust, wrath, and covetousness, upon which of the first three viz, Virtue, Wealth, and Desire should the mind be fixed?
Mbh.12.166.9938 Vidura said, Study of the various scriptures, asceticism, gift, faith, performance of sacrifices, forgiveness, sincerity of disposition, compassion, truth, self-restraint, these constitute possessions of Virtue.
Mbh.12.166.9939 Do thou adopt Virtue.
Mbh.12.166.9941 Both Virtue and Profit have their roots in these.
Mbh.12.166.9943 It is by Virtue that the Rishis have crossed the world with all its difficulties.
Mbh.12.166.9944 It is upon Virtue, that all the worlds depend for their existence.
Mbh.12.166.9945 It is by Virtue that the gods attained to their position of superiority.
Mbh.12.166.9946 It is upon Virtue that Profit or Wealth rests.
Mbh.12.166.9947 Virtue, O king, is foremost in point of merit.
Mbh.12.166.9950 For this reason, one should live with restrained soul, giving his attention to Virtue most.
Mbh.12.166.9952 Vaisampayana continued, After Vidura had finished what he had to say, Pritha's son Arjuna, well skilled in the science of Profit, and conversant also with the truths of both Virtue and Profit, urged on by the drift of Yudhishthira's question, said these words'
Mbh.12.166.9957 Without Profit or Wealth, both Virtue and the objects of Desire cannot be won.
Mbh.12.166.9960 Virtue and Desire are the limbs of Wealth as the Sruti declares.
Mbh.12.166.9961 With the acquisition of Wealth, both Virtue and the objects of Desire may be won.
Mbh.12.166.9973 That Wealth which is connected with Virtue, as also that Virtue which is connected with Wealth, is certainly like nectar
Mbh.12.166.9975 A person without wealth cannot gratify any desire; similarly, there can be no Wealth in one that is destitute of Virtue.
Mbh.12.166.9976 He, therefore, who is outside the pale of both Virtue and Wealth, is an object of fear unto the world.
Mbh.12.166.9977 For this reason, one should seek the acquisition of Wealth with a devoted mind, without disregarding the requirements of Virtue.
Mbh.12.166.9979 One should first practise Virtue; next acquire Wealth without sacrificing Virtue; and then seek the gratification of Desire, for this should be the last act of one who has been successful in acquiring Wealth'
Mbh.12.166.9983 One without Desire never wishes for Virtue.
Mbh.12.166.9994 Both Virtue and Wealth are based upon Desire.
Mbh.12.166.9995 As butter represents the essence of curds, even so is Desire the essence of Profit and Virtue.
Mbh.12.166.9999 Similarly, Desire is better than Virtue and Profit.
Mbh.12.166.10001 Desire is the parent of Virtue and Profit.
Mbh.12.166.10012 Virtue, Profit, and Desire should all be equally attended to.
Mbh.12.166.10021 He who is not employed in merit or in sin, he who does not attend to Profit, or Virtue, or Desire, who is above all faults, who regards gold and a brick-bat with equal eyes, becomes liberated from pleasure and pain and the necessity of accomplishing his purposes.
Mbh.12.189.11321 Both Virtue and Profit are sought for its sake.
Mbh.12.189.11322 Virtue is its root.
Mbh.12.190.11388 In it Virtue, Wealth, and Pleasure, may all be obtained.
Mbh.12.272.16730 Listen now to Emancipation, and Renunciation, and Sin, and Virtue to their very roots.
Mbh.12.294.18391 Virtue and sin exist, O king, only among men.
Mbh.12.318.19961 He cast off all ordinary duties and their derelictions, Virtue and Vice, Truth and Falsehood, Birth and Death, and all other things appertaining to the principles produced by Prakriti.
Mbh.13.7.473 Virtue is honoured by him who honours these three.
Mbh.14.13.386 For this reason thou too, O prince, divert thy desires Kama to Virtue, so that, by this means, thou mayst attain what is well for thee.
