वैशंपायन उवाच । ततः प्रविश्यानुमते नृपस्य महद्वेश्म प्राज्ञशूरार्यगुप्तम् । सिंहासनस्थं पार्थिवमाससाद वैचित्रवीर्यं प्राञ्जलिः सूतपुत्रः॥५-३२-६॥

Vaiśaṃpāyana said: Then, having entered with the king’s permission into the great palace—guarded by wise, valorous, and noble men—the charioteer’s son, with palms joined in reverence, approached the monarch of Vicitrasvīrya’s line seated upon the throne.

संजय उवाच । संजयोऽहं भूमिपते नमस्ते प्राप्तोऽस्मि गत्वा नरदेव पाण्डवान् । अभिवाद्य त्वां पाण्डुपुत्रो मनस्वी युधिष्ठिरः कुशलं चान्वपृच्छत्॥५-३२-७॥

Sañjaya said: “I am Sañjaya, O king—salutations to you. Having gone to the Pāṇḍavas, I have returned, O lord of men. After paying you respects, the resolute Pāṇḍu’s son Yudhiṣṭhira inquired about your welfare.”

english translation

स ते पुत्रान्पृच्छति प्रीयमाणः कच्चित्पुत्रैः प्रीयसे नप्तृभिश्च । तथा सुहृद्भिः सचिवैश्च राजन्ये चापि त्वामुपजीवन्ति तैश्च॥५-३२-८॥

“Pleased, he asks after your sons: whether you are content with your sons and grandsons; likewise with your friends and ministers; and whether the royal dependents also sustain themselves under them.”

Dhṛtarāṣṭra said: “Now that you have come, dear Sañjaya, I ask about Ajātaśatru, Pārtha—whether he is in good condition. Is that king well, together with his sons, his ministers, and his younger brothers, among the Kauravas?”

संजय उवाच । सहामात्यः कुशली पाण्डुपुत्रो भूयश्चातो यच्च तेऽग्रे मनोऽभूत् । निर्णिक्तधर्मार्थकरो मनस्वी बहुश्रुतो दृष्टिमाञ्शीलवांश्च॥५-३२-१०॥

Sañjaya said: “The son of Pāṇḍu is well, together with his ministers; and further, he is as you formerly held in mind: resolute, a practitioner of purified dharma and artha, learned, discerning, and of good conduct.”
