Udyoga Parva, Adhyāya 106: Pūrva-Diśa Praśaṃsā

Praise and Primacy of the Eastern Quarter

सो हं प्राणान्‌ विमोक्ष्यामि कृत्वा यत्नमनुत्तमम्‌ | अर्थिता न मया काचित्‌ कृतपूर्वा दिवौकसाम्‌ | मानयन्ति च मां सर्वे त्रिदशा यज्ञसंस्तरे,“अतः मैं कोई उत्तम प्रयत्न करके अपने प्राणोंका परित्याग कर दूँगा। मैंने आजसे पहले देवताओंसे भी कभी कोई याचना नहीं की है। सब देवता यज्ञमें मेरा समादर करते हैं

so 'haṃ prāṇān vimokṣyāmi kṛtvā yatnam anuttamam | arthitā na mayā kācit kṛtapūrvā divaukasām | mānayanti ca māṃ sarve tridaśā yajñasaṃstare ||

नारद म्हणाले—“म्हणून मी सर्वोत्तम प्रयत्न करून प्राणत्याग करीन. आजवर मी देवांकडे कधीही काही मागितले नाही; तरी यज्ञभूमीवर सर्व त्रिदश मला मान देतात.”
