Satyavati's son Vyasa, having accepted the Earth, addressed that foremost one of Bharata's race, viz., king Yudhishthira the just, and said, O best of kings, the Earth which you have given me I return to you! Do you give me the purchasing value, for Brahmanas are desirous of wealth.
प्रतिगृह्य धरां राजन् व्यास: सत्यवतीसुतः॥ अब्रवीद् भरतश्रेष्ठं धर्मराज युधिष्ठिरम्। वसुधा भवतस्त्वेषा संन्यस्ता राजसत्तम॥ निष्क्रयो दीयतां मह्यं ब्राह्मणा हि धनार्थिनः।
