वैशम्पायनजी कहते हैं - जनमेजय! वहाँ भी महान तप में तत्पर महाबली राजा पाण्डु सिद्धों और भाटों के समुदाय को बहुत प्रिय हो गए - उन्हें देखते ही वे प्रसन्न हो गए॥1॥
Vaishampayanji says – Janamejaya! There too, the mighty King Pandu, who was engaged in great penance, became very dear to the community of Siddhas and bards – they became happy the moment they saw him. 1॥
