अर्जुन उवाच । ऐतरेयः कस्य पुत्रो निवासः क्वास्य वा मुने । कथं सिद्धिमागाद्धीमान्वासुदेवप्रसादतः
arjuna uvāca | aitareyaḥ kasya putro nivāsaḥ kvāsya vā mune | kathaṃ siddhimāgāddhīmānvāsudevaprasādataḥ
ارجن نے کہا: “اے مُنی! اَیتریہ کس کا بیٹا تھا، اس کی رہائش کہاں تھی، اور وہ دانا واسودیو کے فضل سے کیسے سِدھی کو پہنچا؟”
Arjuna
