Devanagari script

वैशम्पायन उवाच एवमुकक्‍्त्वानुजग्मुस्ते पाण्डवांस्तान्‌ समेत्य च । ऊचुः प्राउज्जलय: सर्वे कौन्तेयान्‌ माद्रिनन्दनान्‌,वैशम्पायनजी कहते हैं--ऐसा कहकर वे पुरवासी पाण्डवोंके पास गये और उन कुन्तीकुमारों तथा माद्रीपुत्रोंस मिलकर वे सब-के-सब हाथ जोड़कर इस प्रकार बोले --

Transliteration

vaiśampāyana uvāca evam uktvā anujagmus te pāṇḍavāṁs tān sametya ca | ūcuḥ prāñjalayaḥ sarve kaunteyān mādrīnandanān ||

Translation

毗舍波耶那说道：说罢此言，那些城中百姓便前往般度五子处；他们聚拢在昆蒂之子与摩德丽之子周围，众人合掌致敬，如此陈辞。此景彰显民众对守持正法者的敬仰，也显出共同体向流亡之王进言时所承担的伦理分量。
