ततस्तु नवमे प्राप्ते दिवसे कुरुपांडवाः । भीष्माद्याः पुंडरीकाक्षमिदमूचुः ससौहृ दम्

Rồi khi ngày thứ chín đến, các Kuru và Pāṇḍava—do Bhīṣma dẫn đầu—đã nói những lời này với Puṇḍarīkākṣa bằng tấm lòng thân ái.

The ongoing tīrtha of Adhyāya 73 (Nāgarakhaṇḍa, Tīrthamāhātmya); the precise site-name is clarified in adjacent verses.
