एतत् सर्वमशेषेण पितामह यथातथम् | वेत्तुमिच्छामि धर्मज्ञ परं कौतूहलं हि मे
etat sarvam aśeṣeṇa pitāmaha yathātatham | vettum icchāmi dharmajña paraṁ kautūhalaṁ hi me ||
尤提士提罗说道：“祖父啊，我愿将这一切尽皆明了，正如其真实本相。噢，通晓达摩者，我的求知之心深切无比，愿闻一段完备而确切的开示。”

Educational Q&A
The verse highlights the dharmic method of learning: sincere inquiry, respect for an authoritative elder-teacher, and the insistence on knowing matters “yathātatham” (as they truly are), not partially or by hearsay.
In the Anuśāsana Parva’s instructional setting, Yudhiṣṭhira addresses Bhīṣma as Pitāmaha and requests a complete, accurate explanation of the topic under discussion, motivated by strong curiosity and a desire to grasp dharma thoroughly.
