Shloka 3
कि चाहमभिधास्यामि वाक्य ते तव संनिधौ । यदा वाचोगतं सर्व तव वाचि समाहितम्,“भला” मैं आपके समीप क्या कह सकूँगा? जब कि वाणीका सारा विषय आपकी वेदमयी वाणीमें प्रतिष्ठित है
ki cāham abhidhāsyāmi vākyaṁ te tava saṁnidhau | yadā vācogataṁ sarvaṁ tava vāci samāhitam ||
Wika ni Vaiśampāyana: “Anong mga salita pa ang maibibigkas ko sa iyo sa mismong harap mo, kung ang lahat ng maaaring ipahayag ng pananalita ay naroon nang natipon at naitatag sa sarili mong bigkas na tulad ng Veda?”

The verse highlights intellectual and ethical humility: true wisdom is not mere verbosity, and one should recognize when another’s speech already encompasses the full scope of what can be said—especially when it is grounded in Vedic authority and disciplined understanding.
Vaiśampāyana expresses deference to his interlocutor, saying he can hardly add anything in that person’s presence because all expressible knowledge is already contained and well-established in the other’s Veda-like speech.
