Ādi-parva Adhyāya 3 — Janamejaya’s Rite, Dhaumya’s Parīkṣā, and Uttanka’s Kuṇḍala Quest (सर्पसत्रप्रस्तावना–गुरुपरीक्षा–उत्तङ्कोपाख्यान)
सर्वे च ते वेदा: प्रतिभास्यन्ति सर्वाणि च धर्मशास्त्राणीति । एषा तस्यापि परीक्षोपमन्यो:,“तुम्हारी बुद्धिमें सम्पूर्ण वेद और सभी धर्मशास्त्र स्वतः स्फुरित हो जायँगे।” इस प्रकार यह उपमन्युकी परीक्षा बतायी गयी
sarve ca te vedāḥ pratibhāsyanti sarvāṇi ca dharmaśāstrāṇīti | eṣā tasyāpi parīkṣopamanyoḥ |
وقال راما: «ستتجلّى لك جميعُ الفيدا في فهمك جليّةً مضيئة، وكذلك جميعُ مصنّفات الدارما (dharmaśāstra).» وهكذا تُروى محنة أوبامانيو واختباره (parīkṣā).
