Merit and Destinations from the Gift of Cows
युधिष्ठिरने कहा--प्रभो! आपने धर्मका उपदेश करके उसमें मेरा दृढ़ विश्वास उत्पन्न कर दिया है। पितामह! अब मैं आपसे एक और संदेह पूछ रहा हूँ, उसके विषयमें मुझे बताइये
Yudhiṣṭhira uvāca—Prabho! Bhavatā dharmopadeśaḥ kṛtaḥ, tena mama dharme dṛḍha-viśvāsaḥ utpāditaḥ. Pitāmaha! Idānīṃ tvām ahaṃ punar api anyaṃ saṃśayaṃ pṛcchāmi; tasya viṣaye me vada.
由提施提罗说道：“主啊，你以正法之教使我对义道的信心坚固。祖父啊，如今我还有一桩疑惑，愿你为我开示。”

Educational Q&A
Dharma is to be approached through attentive listening and reflective questioning: Yudhiṣṭhira acknowledges that instruction has strengthened his conviction, yet he continues to seek clarity by raising further doubts—modeling ethical inquiry rather than blind certainty.
In Anuśāsana Parva, Yudhiṣṭhira continues his dialogue with Bhīṣma (addressed as Pitāmaha). After receiving extensive counsel on dharma, he expresses renewed confidence and then asks Bhīṣma to resolve another remaining doubt.
