इष्टबान्धवसंयोगमनायासमनामयम् | यश्चैतच्छावयेद् विद्वान् विदुषो धर्मवित्तम:
iṣṭabāndhavasaṃyogam anāyāsam anāmayam | yaś caitac chāvayed vidvān viduṣo dharmavittamaḥ ||
Dijo Vaiśampāyana: “(Este relato) trae el dichoso reencuentro con los parientes amados, sin esfuerzo y sin aflicción. Y el sabio que hace que sea recitado—conocedor del dharma—llega a ser el más eminente entre los eruditos.”
