Vāsudeva dit : En entrant dans cet excellent āśrama—rendu lumineux par de grands sages, renommés pour leurs nombreuses disciplines—j’aperçus aussitôt le vénérable brahmane Upamanyu, digne d’un seigneur : cheveux en jata et vêtements d’écorce, puissant et resplendissant, flamboyant comme le feu par son tapas, serein de nature, jeune, assis et entouré de ses disciples.
