प्रत्युद्गम्य महात्मान प्रत्यगृह्नाद् यथाविधि । तदनन्तर किसी समय महायोगी सत्यवतीनन्दन व्यास पाण्डवोंको देखनेके लिये वहाँ आये। उन महात्माको आया देख कुन्तीनन्दन युधिष्ठिर उनकी अगवानीके लिये कुछ दूर आगे बढ़ गये और विधिपूर्वक स्वागत-सत्कारके साथ उन्हें अपने साथ लिवा लाये ।। ८-९ >॥ तमासीनमुपासीन: शुश्रूषुर्नियतेन्द्रिय:

Sinabi ni Vaiśampāyana: Lumabas si Yudhiṣṭhira upang salubungin ang dakilang rishi at tinanggap siya ayon sa wastong paraan. Pagkaraan pa ng ilang sandali, dumating doon ang dakilang yogin na si Vyāsa—anak ni Satyavatī—upang makita ang mga Pāṇḍava. Nang makita ang marangal na dumarating, si Yudhiṣṭhira, anak ni Kuntī, ay lumakad nang kaunti pasulong upang salubungin siya, at sa nararapat na mga ritwal ng pagkamapagpatuloy ay inihatid siyang papasok. Nang makaupo na si Vyāsa, umupo si Yudhiṣṭhira sa tabi niya, mapagmatyag at may pagpipigil sa sarili, sabik maglingkod at makinig—ipinapakita na ang paggalang sa marurunong at ang disiplinadong pagtanggap sa panauhin ay anyo rin ng dharma.

Educational Q&A
The passage highlights dharma expressed through proper hospitality and reverence: going forward to receive a worthy guest, honoring him according to prescribed conduct, and then sitting near with self-restraint and a spirit of service and attentive listening.
During the Pāṇḍavas’ forest period, the sage Vyāsa arrives to see them. Yudhiṣṭhira goes out to meet him, welcomes him with due rites, brings him in, and then sits close by, disciplined and eager to serve and hear him.
