upāgamya mahātejā vinayenābhyavadayat |
Disse Vaiśampāyana: Aproximando-se deles, o rei de grande esplendor ofereceu respeitosas saudações com humildade. Depois foi ao rei Yudhiṣṭhira, a Bhīmasena e aos demais Pāṇḍavas e, com a devida cortesia, prestou-lhes homenagem—realçando o ideal dhármico de que a verdadeira grandeza se exprime por conduta modesta e reverência aos dignos.
