yudhiṣṭhira uvāca |
apūrvo'pyatha vā vidvānsaṃbandhī vātha yo bhavet |

"Yudhishthira said, 'Why, O grandsire, are there five viz., he that is a stranger, he that is endued with learning (connected with the duties of his order), he that is connected by marriage, he that is endued with penances, and he that adheres to the performance of sacrifices, regarded as proper persons?'
