सहस्रपादं प्रासादं स्वप्रान्ते सम युधिष्ठिर: । अधिरोहन् मया दृष्ट: सह भ्रातृभिरच्युत,“अच्युत! मैंने स्वप्रके अन्तिम भागमें युधिष्ठिरकों एक हजार खंभोंवाले महलपर भाइयोंसहित चढ़ते देखा है

সঞ্জয় ক’লে— হে অচ্যুত! স্বপ্নৰ শেষ ভাগত মই যুধিষ্ঠিৰক ভাতৃসকলৰ সৈতে, নিজৰ সীমাৰ অন্তিম প্ৰান্তত অৱস্থিত সহস্ৰ স্তম্ভবিশিষ্ট প্ৰাসাদত আৰোহণ কৰা দেখিলোঁ।

The verse models responsible narration and ethical seriousness: Sañjaya reports what he has directly witnessed, emphasizing clarity and accountability in speech at a time when decisions about peace and war carry heavy dharmic consequences.
Sañjaya tells Kṛṣṇa (Acyuta) that he saw Yudhiṣṭhira, accompanied by his brothers, climbing up to a grand thousand-pillared palace located at the far end of their own precinct—an image suggesting a purposeful movement toward counsel, deliberation, or a significant meeting.
