धृतराष्ट्र उवाच । कथं त्वं माधवं वेत्थ सर्वलोकमहेश्वरम् । कथमेनं न वेदाहं तन्ममाचक्ष्व संजय॥५-६७-१॥
Dhṛtarāṣṭra said: How do you know Mādhava as the great lord of all worlds? And how is it that I do not know him? Explain that to me, Sañjaya.
english translation
संजय उवाच । विद्या राजन्न ते विद्या मम विद्या न हीयते । विद्याहीनस्तमोध्वस्तो नाभिजानाति केशवम्॥५-६७-२॥
Sañjaya said: Knowledge is knowledge, O king; my knowledge is not diminished. One who lacks knowledge—whose understanding is obscured by darkness—does not recognize Keśava.

विद्यया तात जानामि त्रियुगं मधुसूदनम् । कर्तारमकृतं देवं भूतानां प्रभवाप्ययम्॥५-६७-३॥
By knowledge, dear sir, I know Madhusūdana as Triyuga: the agent who is himself uncreated, the divine source from whom beings arise and into whom they return.
english translation
धृतराष्ट्र उवाच । गावल्गणेऽत्र का भक्तिर्या ते नित्या जनार्दने । यया त्वमभिजानासि त्रियुगं मधुसूदनम्॥५-६७-४॥
Dhṛtarāṣṭra said: O Gāvalgaṇa, what is that devotion of yours—constant toward Janārdana—by which you recognize Madhusūdana as Triyuga?
english translation
संजय उवाच । मायां न सेवे भद्रं ते न वृथाधर्ममाचरे । शुद्धभावं गतो भक्त्या शास्त्राद्वेद्मि जनार्दनम्॥५-६७-५॥
Sañjaya said: I do not resort to māyā; well-being to you. Nor do I practice dharma in vain. Having attained a purified disposition through devotion, I know Janārdana from the authoritative teachings.
