महाभाग्यं च यत् तस्य नामानि च महात्मन: । तत् त्वत्तो ज्ञातुमिच्छामि सर्व मतिमतां वर
mahābhāgyaṃ ca yat tasya nāmāni ca mahātmanaḥ | tat tvatto jñātum icchāmi sarva matimatāṃ vara ||
یُدھِشٹھِر نے کہا— “اے داناؤں میں برتر شری کرشن! میں اُس مہاتما کی عظیم سعادت کی حقیقی قدر و پیمائش اور اُس کے ناموں کو ٹھیک ٹھیک جاننا چاہتا ہوں۔ یہ سب مجھے تفصیل سے بتائیے۔”
युधिछिर उवाच
The verse models dhārmic learning through humble inquiry: Yudhiṣṭhira seeks accurate knowledge of a noble person’s auspicious qualities and names from a recognized authority, implying that ethical understanding is gained by respectful questioning and careful listening.
Yudhiṣṭhira addresses a revered, wise speaker and requests a detailed account of a certain great-souled figure—specifically that person’s exceptional good fortune and the various names by which he is known.
