Translation

Vaiśampāyana said: From the mouth of the wise Pārtha—Yudhiṣṭhira, Kuntī’s son, ever gentle in speech—there never arose any utterance that was improper, untrue, harsh, or unpleasant. His words were consistently aligned with propriety, truth, and considerate restraint, reflecting the ethical ideal of disciplined speech.
