तांस्तथेत्यब्रवीद् राजा सर्वभूतहिते रत: । यथा भवन्तो ब्रुवते करिष्यामि च तत् तथा,समस्त प्राणियोंके हितमें तत्पर रहनेवाले राजा युधिष्ठिरने उनसे कहा--“बहुत अच्छा, तुमलोग जैसा कहते हो, वैसा ही करूँगा”
tāṁs tathety abravīd rājā sarvabhūtahite rataḥ | yathā bhavanto bruvate kariṣyāmi ca tat tathā ||
Vaiśampāyana berkata: Raja yang menumpukan diri pada kebajikan semua makhluk itu menjawab mereka, “Baiklah. Seperti yang kamu katakan, demikianlah akan aku lakukan.”
