Shloka 6
राजन् प्रकृतिमापन्न: कुरुराजो युधिष्ठिर: । सहितो भ्रातृभि: सर्व: पार्थिवैश्वानुयायिभि:
rājan prakṛtim āpannaḥ kururājo yudhiṣṭhiraḥ | sahito bhrātṛbhiḥ sarvaḥ pārthivaiś cānuyāyibhiḥ ||
Sinabi ni Vaiśampāyana: “O Hari, si Yudhiṣṭhira, ang pinuno ng mga Kuru, ay nagbalik na sa kanyang likás na kapanatagan—payapa at wala nang pag-aalinlangan. Kasama ang lahat ng kanyang mga kapatid at sinusundan ng mga kakamping hari at mga kasamahan, naririto siyang nakaupo sa paglilingkod sa iyo. Kaya ipagkaloob mo sa kanila ang pahintulot na magtungo sa Hastināpura.”

Educational Q&A
The verse highlights the ethical ideal of restored inner balance after turmoil: a righteous king should act from steadiness (prakṛti-stha), follow proper protocol, and seek orderly closure—requesting permission and proceeding without agitation or doubt.
Vaiśampāyana informs the addressed king that Yudhiṣṭhira has become calm and settled, is present with his brothers and accompanying kings in attendance, and is ready to be formally permitted to leave for Hastināpura.
