Shloka 31
ते तु भीष्म॑ समासाद्य शयानं भरतर्षभम् | अभिवाद्यावतिष्ठन्त पाण्डवा: कुरुभि: सह,वे पाण्डव तथा कौरव बाणशय्यापर सोये हुए भरतश्रेष्ठ भीष्मकी सेवामें पहुँचकर उन्हें प्रणाम करके खड़े हो गये
te tu bhīṣmaṃ samāsādya śayānaṃ bharatarṣabham | abhivādya avatiṣṭhanta pāṇḍavāḥ kurubhiḥ saha ||
అప్పుడు పాండవులు కురువులతో కలిసి, బాణశయ్యపై శయనిస్తున్న భరతవంశశ్రేష్ఠుడైన భీష్ముని సమీపించి, నమస్కరించి అక్కడ నిలిచారు।
