महाभाग्यं च यत् तस्य नामानि च महात्मन: । तत् त्वत्तो ज्ञातुमिच्छामि सर्व मतिमतां वर
mahābhāgyaṃ ca yat tasya nāmāni ca mahātmanaḥ | tat tvatto jñātum icchāmi sarva matimatāṃ vara ||
ಯುಧಿಷ್ಠಿರನು ಹೇಳಿದನು— “ಬುದ್ಧಿವಂತರಲ್ಲಿ ಶ್ರೇಷ್ಠನಾದ ಶ್ರೀಕೃಷ್ಣ! ಆ ಮಹಾತ್ಮನ ಮಹಾಸೌಭಾಗ್ಯದ ನಿಜವಾದ ಪ್ರಮಾಣವನ್ನೂ, ಅವನ ನಾಮಗಳನ್ನೂ ನಾನು ಯಥಾರ್ಥವಾಗಿ ತಿಳಿಯಲು ಬಯಸುತ್ತೇನೆ. ಅದನ್ನೆಲ್ಲ ನನಗೆ ವಿವರವಾಗಿ ಹೇಳು.”
