Adhyāya 32: Tāpasānāṃ Darśanaṃ — Ascetics Seek to Identify the Pāṇḍavas
इष्टबान्धवसंयोगमनायासमनामयम् | यश्चैतच्छावयेद् विद्वान् विदुषो धर्मवित्तम:
iṣṭabāndhavasaṃyogam anāyāsam anāmayam | yaś caitac chāvayed vidvān viduṣo dharmavittamaḥ ||
Wika ni Vaiśampāyana: “(Ang salaysay na ito) ay nagdudulot ng mapalad na muling pagkikita ng minamahal na mga kamag-anak, walang hirap at walang karamdaman. At ang marunong na nagpapabigkas nito—ang nakaaalam ng dharma—ay magiging pinakadakila sa mga pantas.”
