बाभ्रव्य उवाच । सत्यमेतद्यथात्थ त्वं नारदं प्रति पांडव । सर्वोऽपि चात्र वृत्तांते संशयं याति मानवः
bābhravya uvāca | satyametadyathāttha tvaṃ nāradaṃ prati pāṃḍava | sarvo'pi cātra vṛttāṃte saṃśayaṃ yāti mānavaḥ
ਬਾਭ੍ਰਵ੍ਯ ਨੇ ਕਿਹਾ: ਹੇ ਪਾਂਡਵ! ਤੂੰ ਨਾਰਦ ਨੂੰ ਜੋ ਕਿਹਾ, ਉਹ ਸੱਚ ਹੈ; ਇਸ ਵ੍ਰਿਤਾਂਤ ਵਿੱਚ ਹਰ ਮਨੁੱਖ ਸੰਦੇਹ ਵਿੱਚ ਪੈ ਜਾਂਦਾ ਹੈ।
