Vaishampayana said: Having thus addressed by that illustrious lord, the ascetic of great wisdom, the intelligent Vyasa, the son of Satyavati, learned in the mysteries of the world, then imported that foremost of knowledge to the willing Dharmaraja (Yudhishthira) who had meanwhile purified himself. Bidding farewell to the son of Kunti, he then disappeared.
वैशम्पायन उवाच एवमुक्त्वा प्रपन्नाय शुचये भगवान् प्रभुः। प्रोवाच लोकतत्त्वज्ञो योगी विद्यामनुत्तमाम्॥ धर्मराजायधीमान् स व्यासः सत्यवतीसुतः। अनुज्ञाय च कौन्तेयं तत्रैवान्तरधीयत॥
