Adhyāya 62: Marutta’s Treasure and the Pāṇḍavas’ Auspicious Departure (मरुत्तस्य धनप्राप्त्युपक्रमः)
धनंजयं च सम्प्रेक्ष्य धर्मराजस्य शृण्वत: । व्यासो वाक्यमुवाचेदं हर्षयन्निव भारत,भारत! तत्पश्चात् व्यासजीने धर्मराज युधिष्ठिरको सुनाते हुए अर्जुनकी ओर देखकर उनका हर्ष बढ़ाते हुए-से कहा--
dhanañjayaṃ ca samprekṣya dharmarājasya śṛṇvataḥ | vyāso vākyam uvācedaṃ harṣayann iva bhārata ||
Nang makita ni Vyāsa si Dhanañjaya (Arjuna) habang nakikinig si Dharmarāja (Yudhiṣṭhira), sinabi niya ang mga salitang ito na wari’y upang pasayahin siya—O Bhārata. (Kaya si Vyāsa, nakalingon kay Arjuna sa harap ni Yudhiṣṭhira, ay nagsimulang magsalita sa paraang mag-aangat ng loob at magpapatatag ng kanilang pasiya.)
