yudhiṣṭhiro ’ham asmīti vākyam uktvā ’grataḥ sthitaḥ | vidurasya śrave rājā taṃ ca pratyabhipūjayat ||
毗耶娑波耶那说道：国王宣言道：“我乃由提湿提罗。”他站在其前，选择恰当的距离，使毗度罗能清楚听见。随后他走近，以至诚之礼加以敬奉——这是对可敬长者与谋臣的谦恭与合乎达摩的礼敬。

Educational Q&A
Even a sovereign should approach the wise with humility: proper self-introduction, consideration for the other’s comfort (speaking within hearing), and sincere honoring of elders embody dharma in conduct.
Yudhiṣṭhira identifies himself to Vidura from a suitable distance so Vidura can hear, then comes closer and formally honors him, marking a respectful meeting between king and revered counselor.
