अन्वजानातू स धर्मज्ञो मुनिर्दिव्येन चक्षुषा । पाण्डो: पुत्रान् कुरुश्रेष्ठानास्यतामिति चाब्रवीत्,उन धर्मज्ञ मुनि आर्डिषेणने अपनी दिव्यदृष्टिसे कुरुश्रेष्ठ पाण्डवोंको जान लिया और कहा, “आप सब लोग बैठें”
anvajānātu sa dharmajño munir divyena cakṣuṣā | pāṇḍoḥ putrān kuruśreṣṭhān āsyatām iti cābravīt |
Vaiśampāyana said: That sage, a knower of dharma, perceived with his divine sight the sons of Pāṇḍu—the foremost among the Kurus—and said, “Be seated.”

Educational Q&A
A dharma-knowing sage recognizes worthy persons through higher insight and responds with proper conduct—here, respectful hospitality—showing that spiritual discernment should lead to ethical action.
The narrator reports that a sage, using divine sight, identifies the Pāṇḍavas as Pāṇḍu’s sons and eminent Kurus, and then courteously invites them to sit.
