Rahular Itihasa / M. N. Dutt · Adi Parva Chapter 122 · Verse 37
Sanskrit Original
अधर्मेण न नो धर्मः संयुज्यति कथंचन। लोकश्चायं वरारोहे धर्मोऽयमिति मन्यते॥ धार्मिकश्च कुरूणां स भविष्यति न संशयः। धर्मेण चापि दत्तस्य नाधर्मे रंस्यते मनः॥ तस्माद् धर्मं पुरस्कृत्य नियता त्वं शुचिस्मिते। उपचाराभिचाराभ्यां धर्ममावाहयस्व वै॥
O beautiful lady, Dharma will ever be able to pollute us with sin and people will also consider that what we do is never sinful. There is no doubt the son thus begotten will be virtuous among the Kurus. Begotten by Dharma, his mind will never be in sin. Therefore, O lady of sweets smiles,, keeping virtue before your eyes and observing all vows, call Dharma by the help of your solicitations and incantations.
