Nāga-āyatana-darśana-pratīkṣā — The Brāhmaṇa’s Request and Waiting on the Gomatī
बदर्याश्रममागम्य समागम्य च तावृषी
badaryāśramam āgamya samāgamya ca tāv ṛṣī
Sinabi ni Janamejaya: “Pagdating sa ashram ng Badarī at pagkikita sa dalawang rishi…”—sa gayon niya sinimulang usisain ang mga pangyayari sa kanilang pagtatagpo sa banal na pook na yaon, na kaugnay sa pamumuhay na may disiplina, pag-aaral, at paghahangad sa dharma.

Educational Q&A
The verse frames dharma as something approached through humble inquiry in a sanctified setting: going to a place of tapas and learning (Badarī) and meeting realized sages, implying that ethical clarity is sought through disciplined environments and competent teachers.
Janamejaya begins a question by describing a journey to Badaryāśrama and a meeting with “those two sages.” The line functions as a narrative lead-in, preparing for details about who the sages are and what instruction or event followed their encounter.
