He saw his grandfather waited upon with reverence by Parasharas intelligent, son Vyasa, by Narada, O royal sage, by Devala and Asita, and also by the surviving unslain kings assembled from various parts of the country. Indeed, the king saw that his great grandfather, as he lay on his heroic bed, was guarded on all sides by the warriors appointed for that duty. Getting down from his car, king Yudhishthira, with his brothers, saluted his grandfather, that chastiser of all enemies. They also saluted the Rishis with the Island-born Vyasa at their head. They were saluted in return by them.
उपास्यमानं व्यासेन पाराशर्येण धीमता। नारदेन च राजर्षे देवलेनासितेन य॥ हतशिष्टैर्नृपैश्चान्यैर्नानादेशसमागतः। रक्षिभिश्च महात्मानं रक्ष्यमाणं समन्ततः॥ शयानं वीरशयने ददर्श नृपतिस्ततः। ततो रथादवातीर्य भ्रातृभिः सह धर्मराट्॥ अभवाद्याथ कौन्तेयः पितामहमरिंदम। द्वैपायनादीन् विप्रांश्च तैश्च प्रत्यभिनन्दितः॥
