श्रीशुक उवाच इत्युक्त्वा यज्ञिये काले वव्रे युक्तान् स ऋत्विज: । कृष्णानुमोदित: पार्थो ब्राह्मणान् ब्रह्मवादिन: ॥ ६ ॥
śrī-śuka uvāca ity uktvā yajñiye kāle vavre yuktān sa ṛtvijaḥ kṛṣṇānumoditaḥ pārtho brāhmaṇān brahma-vādinaḥ
舒迦提婆·高斯瓦弥说：说罢此言，尤提士提罗王等待祭祀（yajña）相应的吉时到来。随后在主奎师那的许可下，他拣选了合宜的祭司（ṛtvij），皆为精通吠陀、宣说梵理的婆罗门权威，以主持此圣祭。
The great Bhāgavatam commentator Śrīdhara Svāmī explains that the proper time for the sacrifice mentioned here was the spring.
