Yudhiṣṭhira’s Procession, Encampment (Niveśa), and Auspicious Timing for Ritual Action
गुरुणा धर्मशीलेन व्यासेनाद्भुतकर्मणा । भीष्मेण च महाप्राज्ञा गोविन्देन च धीमता
guruṇā dharmaśīlena vyāsenādbhuta-karmaṇā | bhīṣmeṇa ca mahāprājñā govindena ca dhīmatā
Wika ni Vaiśampāyana: “(Ito’y ginawa/ibinanggit) ng guro na si Vyāsa—matatag sa dharma at may mga gawang kagila-gilalas—at gayundin ni Bhīṣma, ang dakilang pantas, at ni Govinda, ang may malinaw na pag-unawa.”
