Shloka 5
राजसूयविचारः — Deliberation on the Rajasuya and the Summoning of Kṛṣṇa
शक्रस्य तु सभायां तु देवा: संकीर्तिता मुने । उद्देशतश्न गन्धर्वा विविधाक्ष महर्षय:
śakrasya tu sabhāyāṃ tu devāḥ saṃkīrtitā mune | uddeśataś ca gandharvā vividhākṣā maharṣayaḥ ||
尤提希提罗说道：“噢，牟尼！在你叙述释迦罗（因陀罗）的会堂时，你主要列举了诸天。至于形貌各异的部分乾闼婆与少数大圣仙，你只是略略提及。请更详尽地告诉我，那些在座者究竟是谁。”
युधिछ्िर उवाच
Educational Q&A
The verse models disciplined inquiry: a righteous king listens carefully, notices imbalance or incompleteness in a report, and respectfully asks a sage for fuller detail—showing that governance and dharma rely on attentive hearing (śravaṇa) and precise understanding.
After hearing about Indra’s splendid court, Yudhiṣṭhira observes that the sage’s description focused mainly on the gods and only briefly mentioned Gandharvas and great seers; he therefore requests a more complete account of the other eminent beings present in that assembly.
