Shloka 10
तमथाश्वासयन् सर्वे ब्राह्मणा भ्रातृभि: सह | अथ धौम्योडब्रवीद् वाक्यं महार्थ नृपतिं तदा,उस समय उनके भाइयोंसहित समस्त ब्राह्मणोंने उन्हें आश्वासन दिया। तत्पश्चात् महर्षि धौम्यने राजा युधिष्ठिरसे यह गम्भीर अर्थयुक्त वचन कहा--
tam athāśvāsayan sarve brāhmaṇā bhrātṛbhiḥ saha | atha dhaumyo 'bravīd vākyam mahārthaṃ nṛpatiṃ tadā ||
तेव्हा त्यांच्या भावांसह सर्व ब्राह्मणांनी त्यांना धीर दिला. त्यानंतर महर्षी धौम्यांनी नृपतीला गहन अर्थयुक्त वचन सांगितले.
