Varṇa-dharma and Rājadharma: Yudhiṣṭhira’s Inquiry and Bhīṣma’s Normative Outline (वर्णधर्म-राजधर्म-प्रश्नोत्तरम्)

bhūyo 'sya dakṣiṇaṃ pāṇiṃ mamanthus te maharṣayaḥ | tataḥ puruṣa utpanno rūpeṇendra ivāparaḥ ||
پھر اُن مہارشیوں نے وین کے دائیں ہاتھ کا مَنتھن کیا۔ اس سے ایک اور مرد ظاہر ہوا، جس کی صورت دیوراج اندر کے مانند تھی۔
