I am known as Yayati, a king's son and myself a king.' Devayani then enquired, 'O king, what hast thou come here for? Is it to gather lotuses or to angle or to hunt?' Yayati said, 'O amiable one, thirsty from the pursuit of deer, I have come hither in search of water. I am very much fatigued. I await but your commands to leave this spot.' > — Kisari Mohan Ganguli 1883, The Mahabharata of Krishna-Dwaipayana Vyasa - [Previous: 1.76.13](https://indike.org/pramana/in.lit.mahabharata.vyasa.1.76.13) - [Next: 1.76.15](https://indike.org/pramana/in.lit.mahabharata.vyasa.1.76.15) - [Up: 1.76](https://indike.org/pramana/in.lit.mahabharata.vyasa.1.76) ## Translations (1) - [The Mahabharata of Krishna-Dwaipayana Vyasa](https://indike.org/pramana/in.lit.mahabharata.vyasa~en-ganguli.1.81.5) — Kisari Mohan Ganguli 1883, English ## Commentaries (1) - [Bhāratabhāvadīpa](https://indike.org/pramana/in.lit.mahabharata.vyasa!nilakantha.1.81.15) — Nīlakaṇṭha Caturdhara 1650, Sanskrit ## Other recensions (2) - [Southern recension](https://indike.org/pramana/in.lit.mahabharata.vyasa*southern.1.75.21) — Sanskrit - [Vulgate (Nīlakaṇṭha's text)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.lit.mahabharata.vyasa*vulgate.1.81.15) — Sanskrit --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.lit.mahabharata.vyasa.1.76.14](https://indike.org/pramana/in.lit.mahabharata.vyasa.1.76.14) · Pramāṇa
