Nārada’s Exempla of Tapas and Assurance to Dhṛtarāṣṭra (नारदोपदेशः—तपःसिद्ध्युदाहरणम्)
देवर्षियोंसे सेवित महातेजस्वी विप्रवर भगवान् व्यासने भी शिष्योंसहित आकर राजाको दर्शन दिया ।। ततः स राजा कौरव्य: कुन्तीपुत्रश्न वीर्यवान् । भीमसेनादयश्वैव प्रत्युत्थाया भ्यवादयन्,उस समय कुरुवंशी राजा धुृतराष्ट्र, पराक्रमी कुन्तीकुमार युधिष्ठिर तथा भीमसेन आदिने उठकर समागत महर्षियोंको प्रणाम किया
Vaiśampāyana uvāca: Devarṣibhiḥ sevito mahātejasvī vipravaro bhagavān Vyāso ’pi śiṣyaiḥ saha āgatya rājānaṃ darśayām āsa. Tataḥ sa rājā Kauravyaḥ Kuntīputraś ca vīryavān, Bhīmasenādayaś caiva pratyutthāya abhivādayan. Tasmin samaye Kuruvaṃśī rājā Dhṛtarāṣṭraḥ, parākramaḥ Kuntīkumaras Yudhiṣṭhiraḥ tathā Bhīmasenādayaḥ utthāya samāgatān maharṣīn praṇāmaṃ cakruḥ.
Vaiśampāyana said: The blessed sage Vyāsa—supremely radiant, the foremost of brahmins, and attended by divine seers—came there with his disciples and granted the king an audience. Then the Kuru king, the valiant son of Kuntī (Yudhiṣṭhira), and Bhīmasena and the others rose to receive them and offered respectful salutations; thus, at that moment, Dhṛtarāṣṭra of the Kuru line, Yudhiṣṭhira, and Bhīma with the rest stood up and bowed to the arriving great sages.
