यदत्र तथ्यं तन्मे त्वं यथावद् वक्तुमरहसि । त्वदृते पुरुष नान््यं प्रष्टमहामि कौरव
yad atra tathyaṁ tan me tvaṁ yathāvad vaktum arhasi | tvadṛte puruṣa nānyaṁ praṣṭum aham iha kaurava ||
អ្វីដែលជាការពិតក្នុងរឿងនេះ សូមលោកប្រាប់ខ្ញុំឲ្យត្រឹមត្រូវតាមដែលវាជា។ លើកលែងតែលោកទេ ឱ ព្រះអង្គដ៏គួរគោរព ឱ កោរវៈ ខ្ញុំមិនមានបុរសណាផ្សេងទៀតនៅទីនេះ ដែលខ្ញុំអាចសួរបានដោយសមរម្យឡើយ។

Educational Q&A
The verse emphasizes disciplined truth-seeking: when a matter is subtle, one should approach a qualified authority and request an exact account (yathāvat), acknowledging the limits of one’s own certainty and the need for reliable guidance.
Yudhiṣṭhira, in the instruction-filled setting of the Śānti Parva, appeals to his elder teacher for a definitive explanation and states that he has no other suitable person present to question on this topic.
