evaṁ bruvati bhīme tu dharmarāje yudhiṣṭhire | ājagāma mahābhāgo bṛhadaśvo mahānṛṣiḥ ||
Translation
As Bhīma was speaking thus to Dharmarāja Yudhiṣṭhira, at that very moment the illustrious great sage Bṛhadaśva arrived there—an auspicious turn in the narrative, as the presence of a realized ṛṣi signals counsel grounded in dharma and the calming of turbulent emotion.
