Then king Yudhishthira the just with all his brothers, addressed that foremost one of Kuru's race, the son of the River Ganga, as he lay on that bed of his saying, I am Yudhishthira, O king. Salutations to thee, O son of the River Janhavi. If you hearest me still, O tell me what I am to do for thee.
अब्रवीद् भरतश्रेष्ठं धर्मराजो युधिष्ठिरः। भ्रातृभिः सह कौरव्यः शयानं निम्नगासुतम्॥ युधिष्ठिरोऽहं नृपते नमस्ते जाह्नवीसुत। शृणोषि चेन्महाबाहो ब्रूहि किं करवाणि ते॥
