Devanagari script
वैशम्पायनजी कहते हैं-जनमेजय! कुरुश्रेष्ठ महात्मा राजा युधिष्ठिरने ब्रह्माके पुत्रोंमें श्रेष्ठ नारदजीका यह वचन सुनकर उनके दोनों चरणोंमें प्रणाम एवं अभिवादन किया और अत्यन्त संतुष्ट हो देवस्वरूप नारदजीसे कहा ।।

Translation
Юдхиштхира сказал: «О девариши, я поступлю в точности так, как ты сказал. Воистину, от твоей речи моя мудрость возросла ещё более». Сказав так, царь и впрямь поступил соответственно; и именно этим поведением он обрёл владычество над землёй, опоясанной океаном.
