युधिष्ठिर उवाच किं न आचरितं श्रेयो न वेदाहमधीश्वर । योगेश्वराणां दुर्दर्शो यन्नो दृष्ट: कुमेधसाम् ॥ ११ ॥
yudhiṣṭhira uvāca kiṁ na ācaritaṁ śreyo na vedāham adhīśvara yogeśvarāṇāṁ durdarśo yan no dṛṣṭaḥ ku-medhasām
युधिष्ठिर म्हणाला—हे अधीश्वर! आम्ही मंदबुद्धी, कोणते पुण्य आचरले ते मला कळत नाही; कारण योगेश्वरांनाही दुर्दर्श असा तू आम्हाला दर्शन दिलास।
