जनमेजयस्य राजर्षे: स महात्मा सदस्तदा । विवेश सहित: शिष्यैवेंदवेदाड़पारगै:,उन महात्मा व्यासने वेद-वेदांगोंके पारंगत विद्वान शिष्योंके साथ उस समय राजर्षि जनमेजयके यज्ञमण्डपमें प्रवेश किया
śaunaka uvāca | janamejayasya rājarṣeḥ sa mahātmā sadas tadā | viveśa sahitaḥ śiṣyair vedavedāṅgapāragaiḥ ||
Śaunaka said: At that time, that great-souled sage entered the assembly-hall of the royal seer Janamejaya, accompanied by disciples who had mastered the Vedas and the auxiliary sciences. The scene underscores the ethical ideal that sacred knowledge is approached with discipline, lineage, and humility, and that royal power is rightly guided by learned counsel in a solemn rite.
