Shloka 23
युधिछिर उवाच देवदेवो मया दृष्टो भवान् साक्षात् सनातन: । य॑ं ददासि वर तुष्टस्तं ग्रहीष्याम्यहं पित:
yudhiṣṭhira uvāca devadevo mayā dṛṣṭo bhavān sākṣāt sanātanaḥ | yaṁ dadāsi vara tuṣṭas taṁ grahīṣyāmy ahaṁ pitaḥ ||
یُدھِشٹھِر نے کہا—اے پِتا! میں نے آپ کو براہِ راست دیکھا ہے—آپ سَناتن، دیوتاؤں کے دیوتا ہیں۔ آپ خوش ہو کر جو بھی وَر (نعمت) عطا کریں گے، میں اسے نہایت ادب و عقیدت سے قبول کروں گا۔

Educational Q&A
The verse models dharmic humility and devotion: even when offered a boon, Yudhiṣṭhira first acknowledges the divine presence and submits his will respectfully, showing that gifts should be received with reverence rather than entitlement.
Yudhiṣṭhira speaks to a revered father-figure who is also revealed as a supreme divine being. Having obtained direct darśana, he declares that he will accept whatever boon is granted, indicating a moment of divine encounter and forthcoming bestowal.
