Translation
Bhīṣma said: “Upon the summit of Mount Kailāsa, Bharadvāja beheld the great sage Bhṛgu seated there, blazing with his own radiance. Seeing that ṛṣi of mighty splendor, he drew near and put forth a question—thus beginning a dialogue meant to make dharma clear through the authority of an illumined seer.”
