यच्च वै हृदि सर्वेषां दुःखमेतच्चिरं स्थितम् | तदद्य व्यपनेष्यामि परलोककृताद् भयात्,तुम सब लोगोंके हृदयमें इनके लिये पारलौकिक भयके कारण जो चिरकालसे दुःख भरा हुआ है, उसे आज दूर कर दूँगा
yacca vai hṛdi sarveṣāṁ duḥkham etac ciraṁ sthitam | tad adya vyapaneṣyāmi paralokakṛtād bhayāt |
Вьяса сказал: «И ту скорбь, что долгое время таилась в сердцах всех вас — рожденную страхом перед миром иным, — я сегодня устраню».
