Parikshit to Ministers about Ruru

So let me now 

1. drop myself  down in a lake or 
2. enter in to a burning fire or 
3. drink venom or 
4. strangle myself by tieing rope round my neck!”

Thus Ruru wailed much on the bank of the river and long reflecting in his mind found out a way and thought 

1. what would be the advantage in death? “
2. Rather an irretrievable sin would be incurred in committing suicide; and 
3. my father and mother would be sorry. Seeing me commit suicide, 
4. my bad luck and enemies will be gladdened; there is no manner of doubt; in this. 
5. What benefit will my beloved gain if I commit suicide or if I be distressed for her bereavement. 
6. Suppose I die, even then my beloved will not become mine in the next world; so there are many faults in my committing suicide but there is no fault if I preserve my life.

Thus coming to a conclusion Ruru bathed, performed Âchaman and became pure.
