Yadu replied,
“There are innumerable inconveniences in decrepitude, in respect of drinking and eating. Therefore, O king, I shall not take your decrepitude. This is, indeed, my determination.

Therefore, O king, I desire not to take it. O king, you have many sons some of whom are dearer to you. You are acquainted with the precepts of virtue. Ask some other son of yours to take your decrepitude.
