Vaishampayana said Seeing those kings-lords of Earth-all conversant with the Vedas, arrive, king Yudhishthira, addressing Bhimasena, said, O chief of men, let proper honors be paid to these kings who have come, for these foremost of men are all worthy of the highest honors.
वैशम्पायन उवाच समागतान् वेदविदो राज्ञश्च पृथिवीश्वरान्। दृष्ट्वा युधिष्ठिरो राजा भीमसेनमभाषत॥ उपयाता नरव्याघ्रा य एते पृथिवीश्वराः एतेषां क्रियतां पूजा पूजार्हा हि नराधिपाः॥
