Shloka 3
Āśvamedhika-parva, Adhyāya 14
Consolation of Yudhiṣṭhira; Rites and Gifts; Return to Hastināpura
नारदेनाथ भीमेन नकुलेन च पार्थिव । कृष्णया सहदेवेन विजयेन च धीमता
nāradenātha bhīmena nakulena ca pārthiva | kṛṣṇayā sahadevena vijayena ca dhīmatā ||
毗湿摩波耶那说道：大王啊，纳罗陀、毗摩、那俱罗、黑公主（德罗帕蒂）、娑诃提婆，以及智者毗阇耶（阿周那）都以种种劝诫共同慰藉尤提施提罗。又有通达经典的婆罗门与苦行圣者相助；在这些卓越之人的言辞劝导下，亲族被戮的尤提施提罗心境澄然，抛却由哀恸所生的痛苦与内心灼烧般的煎熬。
