बदर्याश्रममागम्य समागम्य च तावृषी
badaryāśramam āgamya samāgamya ca tāv ṛṣī
Janamejaya disse: “Tendo chegado ao eremitério de Badarī e encontrado aqueles dois sábios…”—assim ele começa a indagar as circunstâncias do encontro naquele retiro sagrado, tradicionalmente associado à vida disciplinada, ao aprendizado e à busca do dharma.

The verse frames dharma as something approached through humble inquiry in a sanctified setting: going to a place of tapas and learning (Badarī) and meeting realized sages, implying that ethical clarity is sought through disciplined environments and competent teachers.
Janamejaya begins a question by describing a journey to Badaryāśrama and a meeting with “those two sages.” The line functions as a narrative lead-in, preparing for details about who the sages are and what instruction or event followed their encounter.
