महर्षिकल्पो राजर्षि: सर्वलोकेषु विश्रुत: । बलवान धृतिमान् दक्ष: सत्यवादी जितेन्द्रिय: । धनैश्न सज्चयैश्नैव शक्रवैश्रवणोपम:,ये महर्षियोंके समान हैं, राजर्षि हैं और समस्त लोकोंमें विख्यात हैं। बलवान, धैर्यवान्, चतुर, सत्यवादी और जितेन्द्रिय हैं। धन और संग्रहकी दृष्टिसे ये इन्द्र और कुबेरके समान हैं
mahārṣikalpo rājarṣiḥ sarvalokeṣu viśrutaḥ | balavān dhṛtimān dakṣaḥ satyavādī jitendriyaḥ | dhanaiś ca sañcayaiś caiva śakravaiśravaṇopamaḥ ||
Wika ni Arjuna: “Siya’y tulad ng isang dakilang rishi, isang rajarsi na bantog sa lahat ng daigdig—malakas, matatag ang loob, mahusay, nagsasalita ng katotohanan, at may pagpipigil sa mga pandama. Sa yaman at naipong kayamanan, maihahambing siya kina Śakra (Indra) at Vaiśravaṇa (Kubera).”
