मागधगिरिव्रजप्रवेशः — Entry into Girivraja and Jarāsandha’s Protocol Inquiry
यौ तौ मया ते कथितौ पूर्वमेव महाबलौ । त्रयस्त्रयाणां लोकानां पर्याप्ता इति मे मति:,जनमेजय! उन दोनों महाबली वीरोंका परिचय मैंने तुम्हें पहले ही दे दिया है। मेरा ऐसा विश्वास है, जरासंध और वे तीनों मिलकर तीनों लोकोंका सामना करनेके लिये पर्याप्त थे
yau tau mayā te kathitau pūrvam eva mahābalau | trayas-trayāṇāṃ lokānāṃ paryāptā iti me matiḥ, janamejaya ||
Vaiśampāyana berkata: “Dua wira perkasa yang telah aku ceritakan kepadamu dahulu—wahai Janamejaya, pada hematku mereka memadai untuk menghadapi tiga alam, bahkan sekalipun tiga kali ganda.”

The verse highlights how epic narration uses measured judgment and hyperbole to convey extraordinary prowess; it also frames power as something assessed and reported responsibly by the narrator to the listener-king.
Vaiśampāyana reminds King Janamejaya that he has already introduced two formidable figures and states his conviction that their strength was enough to face even the three worlds, emphasizing their exceptional might within the ongoing account.
