Mahabharata — Anushasana Parva, Shloka 15
तथेत्युक्त्वा च कौन्तेय: सो5भिवाद्य पितामहम् । प्रययौँ सपरीवारो नगरं नागसाह्दयम्,तब “बहुत अच्छा” कहकर कुन्तीनन्दन युधिष्ठिर पितामहको प्रणाम करके परिवारसहित हस्तिनापुरकी ओर चल दिये
tathety uktvā ca kaunteyaḥ so'bhivādya pitāmaham | prayayau saparīvāro nagaraṃ nāgasāhvayam ||
Sinabi ni Vaiśaṃpāyana: “Sumagot ang anak ni Kuntī, ‘Gayon nga.’ Pagkaraang yumukod nang may paggalang sa Matandang Ama (Pitāmaha), siya’y umalis kasama ang mga kasama at ang kanyang sambahayan patungo sa lungsod na tinatawag na Nāgasāhvaya (Hāstinapura).”

Educational Q&A
The verse highlights dharmic conduct: one should accept rightful instruction with humility (“so be it”), honor elders and teachers through respectful salutation, and then proceed to action in an orderly, responsible manner.
After agreeing to what has been said, Yudhiṣṭhira (Kaunteya) bows to Bhīṣma (the Grandsire) and departs with his entourage toward Hāstinapura, here referred to by the epithet Nāgasāhvaya.
