Srimad-Bhagavatam: Canto 10 - Chapter 1 - Verse 26-27


Sanskrit:

तामर्जुन उपश्रुत्य कर्हिचित् केशवान्तिके ।परेते नवमे बाले ब्राह्मणं समभाषत ॥ २६ ॥किंस्विद् ब्रह्मंस्त्वन्निवासे इह नास्ति धनुर्धर: ।राजन्यबन्धुरेते वै ब्राह्मणा: सत्रमासते ॥ २७ ॥

ITRANS:

tām arjuna upaśrutyakarhicit keśavāntikeparete navame bālebrāhmaṇaṁ samabhāṣata

Translation:

When the ninth child died, Arjuna, who was near Lord Keśava, happened to overhear the brāhmaṇa lamenting. Thus Arjuna addressed the brāhmaṇa: “What is the matter, my dear brāhmaṇa? Isn’t there some lowly member of the royal order here who can at least stand before your house with a bow in his hand? These kṣatriyas are behaving as if they were brāhmaṇas idly engaged in fire sacrifices.
