वैशम्पायन उवाच तेषु तत्रोपविष्टेषु देवर्षिरपि नारद: । आजगाम विशुद्धात्मा पाण्डवानवलोकक:,वैशम्पायनजी कहते हैं-जनमेजय! वे सब लोग वहाँ बैठे ही थे कि विशुद्ध अन्तःकरणवाले देवर्षि नारद भी पाण्डवोंसे मिलनेके लिये वहाँ आये
Vaiśampāyana uvāca: teṣu tatropaviṣṭeṣu devarṣir api Nāradaḥ | ājagāma viśuddhātmā Pāṇḍavān avalokakaḥ ||
वैशंपायन म्हणाले—जनमेजया! ते सर्वजण तेथे बसले असता, विशुद्ध अंतःकरण असलेले देवर्षी नारद पांडवांना भेटण्यासाठी तेथे आले.

Educational Q&A

As the Pāṇḍavas are seated in the forest setting, the divine sage Nārada arrives to meet and observe them, marking a transition to counsel, news, or instruction delivered by a revered seer.
