युधिष्ठटिरस्य दाशार्ह तच्चापि विदितं तव । यथोक्त: संजयश्चैव तच्च सर्व श्रुतं त्वया
Vaiśampāyana uvāca: yudhiṣṭhirasya dāśārha taccāpi viditaṃ tava | yathoktaḥ saṃjayaś caiva tac ca sarvaṃ śrutaṃ tvayā | dharmake jñātā mahābāhu madhusūdana ||
वैशम्पायन उवाच— दाशार्ह! युधिष्ठिरस्य यत्, तदपि तव विदितम्। यथोक्तः संजयश्चैव, तच्च सर्वं श्रुतं त्वया; धर्मज्ञ महाबाहो मधुसूदन! न किञ्चिदत्र तवाविदितम्।
