Vaiśampāyana uvāca | sa-antaḥpura-parīvāraḥ sa-bhṛtyaḥ sa-purohitaḥ | yathāsukhaṁ yathoddeśaṁ dhṛtarāṣṭrābhyanujñayā ||
毗湿摩波耶那说道：国王坚战（Yudhiṣṭhira）得持国王（Dhṛtarāṣṭra）许可后，携内宫诸女及其侍从，又率仆从与家祭司，安然随意往来于诸处，遍访诸仙贤者之林庵——举止合礼，恭顺遵奉长者之命。

Educational Q&A
Even a sovereign acts within dharma by seeking and honoring an elder’s permission; rightful conduct is shown through restraint, propriety, and respect for authority rather than mere power.
After obtaining Dhṛtarāṣṭra’s consent, Yudhiṣṭhira—accompanied by the palace women, attendants, servants, and the priest—moves about peacefully to different places and visits the sages’ hermitages.
