śrī-śuka uvāca śrutvehitaṁ sādhu sabhā-sabhājitaṁ mahattamāgraṇya urukramātmanaḥ yudhiṣṭhiro daitya-pater mudānvitaḥ papraccha bhūyas tanayaṁ svayambhuvaḥ
श्रीशुकदेव म्हणाले—प्रह्लाद महाराजांचे पवित्र चरित्र व आचरण, जे ब्रह्मा व शिवांसारख्या महापुरुषांच्या सभेतही आदराने चर्चिले जाते, ते ऐकून महत्तमांमध्ये अग्रगण्य युधिष्ठिर महाराज आनंदित होऊन पुन्हा स्वयम्भुवाचे पुत्र नारद मुनींना प्रश्न विचारू लागले।
