द्वैपायनह्रदे दुर्योधनान्वेषणम् / The Search for Duryodhana at Dvaipāyana Lake
तमब्रवीत् सत्यधृति: प्रणतं त्वग्रत: स्थितम्
tam abravīt satyadhṛtiḥ praṇataṁ tv agrataḥ sthitam | etad vai kāraṇaṁ sarvaṁ vistareṇa nivedaya ||
萨提耶陀利提（毗度罗）对那在他面前恭敬顶礼而立的人说道：“将此事的全部缘由，详详细细地告诉我。你能在俱卢族（Kaurava）那场可怖的屠戮中幸存，实乃大福；然而，犹提士提罗王尚未入哈斯提那补罗（Hastināpura），你为何竟先到此处？把一切原因都为我从容铺陈。”

Educational Q&A
The verse highlights truth-centered inquiry and responsible speech: a wise elder (Vidura, ‘steadfast in truth’) asks for a complete, detailed account before judging events, emphasizing ethical discernment in the chaotic aftermath of war.
After the catastrophic destruction of the Kauravas, Vidura (Satyadhṛti) addresses Yuyutsu, who has come respectfully. Vidura expresses surprise that Yuyutsu arrived before Yudhiṣṭhira’s formal entry into Hastināpura and asks him to explain the full reason in detail.
