Verse 6.109.71

शिखिध्वज उवाच ।
युक्तमुक्तं विशालाक्षि त्वयैतत्समया धिया ।
को वार्थः किल राज्यस्य ग्रहे त्यागेऽपि वा भवेत् ॥ ७१ ॥

śikhidhvaja uvāca |
yuktamuktaṃ viśālākṣi tvayaitatsamayā dhiyā |
ko vārthaḥ kila rājyasya grahe tyāge'pi vā bhavet || 71 ||

Sikhidvaja responded said:—You have rightly said, O large eyed dame, with your calm and cool understanding; that it is all alike, whether we get or lose a kingdom, since we derive no lasting good nor suffer great evil, either from its gain or loss.
