युधिष्ठिर उवाच । को वा गन्धर्वराजासौ किंनामा कुत्र वा स्थितः । कियन्मात्रास्तस्य कन्याः किमाचारा ब्रवीहि मे
yudhiṣṭhira uvāca | ko vā gandharvarājāsau kiṃnāmā kutra vā sthitaḥ | kiyanmātrāstasya kanyāḥ kimācārā bravīhi me
युधिष्ठिर उवाच—स गन्धर्वराजः कः? किं नाम? कुत्र वा स्थितः? तस्य कन्याः कियन्मात्राः? किमाचाराः? मे ब्रूहि।

None; the verse is a question about a mythic lineage and location.
None.
