Kṛṣṇa’s Departure, Auspicious Omens, and the Opening of the Uttaṅka Dialogue (कृष्णप्रयाण-निमित्त-उत्तङ्कसंवाद-प्रारम्भः)
युधिष्ठिर उदाच विवक्षू हि युवां मन््ये वीरौ यदुकुरूद्वहौ । ब्रूतं कर्तास्मि सर्व वां नचिरान्मा विचार्यताम्
yudhiṣṭhira uvāca vivakṣū hi yuvāṃ manye vīrau yadukurūdvahau | brūtaṃ kartāsmi sarvaṃ vāṃ na cirān mā vicāryatām ||
由提施提罗说道：“我想你们二位英雄——雅度与俱卢两族的光饰——是要对我有所陈言。尽管说吧；你们所愿之事，我必不迟疑，尽皆成就。莫让心中踌躇，亦莫生旁疑。”

Educational Q&A
A righteous king should be accessible and reassuring: he invites frank speech, removes fear of refusal, and commits to timely action. The ethical emphasis is on responsiveness, trust, and the duty to support worthy requests without needless delay.
Yudhiṣṭhira addresses two eminent warriors associated with the Yadu and Kuru lines, sensing they wish to ask or propose something. He urges them to speak openly and promises to fulfill their wishes promptly, discouraging hesitation or doubt.
