Yudhishthira said O you who know the truths of religion, I wish to hear of the merits of religion, I wish to hear of the merits of mercy, and of the marks of devout men! Do you, O sire, describe them to me.
युधिष्ठिर उवाच आनृशंस्यस्य धर्मज्ञ गुणान् भक्तजनस्य च। श्रोतुमिच्छामि धर्मज्ञ तन्मे ब्रूहि पितामह॥
