प्रत्युद्गम्य महात्मान प्रत्यगृह्नाद् यथाविधि । तदनन्तर किसी समय महायोगी सत्यवतीनन्दन व्यास पाण्डवोंको देखनेके लिये वहाँ आये। उन महात्माको आया देख कुन्तीनन्दन युधिष्ठिर उनकी अगवानीके लिये कुछ दूर आगे बढ़ गये और विधिपूर्वक स्वागत-सत्कारके साथ उन्हें अपने साथ लिवा लाये ।। ८-९ >॥ तमासीनमुपासीन: शुश्रूषुर्नियतेन्द्रिय:
pratyudgamya mahātmānaṃ pratyagṛhṇād yathāvidhi | tad-anantaraṃ kadācit mahāyogī satyavatī-nandanaḥ vyāsaḥ pāṇḍavān draṣṭuṃ tatra ājagāma | tān mahātmānam āyāntaṃ dṛṣṭvā kuntī-nandanaḥ yudhiṣṭhiraḥ tasya pratyudgamaṃ kṛtvā kiñcid dūraṃ agre jagāma, vidhivat satkāra-svāgatena saha tam ādāya svāśramaṃ prāviśat || tam āsīnam upāsīnaḥ śuśrūṣuḥ niyatendriyaḥ ||
Vaiśaṃpāyana said: After going forward to meet that great sage, Yudhiṣṭhira received him in the proper manner. Some time later, the great yogin Vyāsa—son of Satyavatī—came there to see the Pāṇḍavas. Seeing the venerable one arrive, Yudhiṣṭhira, son of Kuntī, walked a little distance ahead to welcome him, and with due rites of hospitality brought him in. When Vyāsa had taken his seat, Yudhiṣṭhira sat near him, attentive and self-controlled, eager to serve and to listen—showing that reverence to the wise and disciplined hospitality are themselves forms of dharma.
