Translation

Wika ni Bhīṣma: “Isang biglaang galak ang dumating sa iyo—gayong ikaw ay isang asetiko at matatag sa pagpipigil-sa-sarili. Kaya, O marunong, matapos kitang batiin at yukoang may paggalang, itinatanong ko: ano ang dahilan ng iyong pagngiti ngayon? Paano sumibol sa iyo ang pagtawang iyon? Ipaalam mo sa akin ang sanhi ng di-inaasahang tuwang ito.”
