Mahabharata 27: Worlds Abide Under Lord's Rule

Never under one's own tool, Worlds abide under Lord's rule, He bestows here all welfare, And he leads to sinful fare. _________________________________________________________ Here is the transliteration of the original verse: īshvarasya vashe lokāh tiśhţhante na ātmanah yathā | vana 30-21 | īshvarah vi-dadhāti iha kalyāņam yat cha pāpakam || vana 30-24 || Finally, when most fingers were pointed out at Yudhishthir and his swayed intellect, the poet of the epic, sage Vyasa, points finger at Destiny and God, as we all are wont to do often.
