The Great Epic of the Bhārata dynasty 13.8.1

13.8.1

yudhiṣṭhira uvāca |
ke pūjyāḥ ke namaskāryāḥ kānnamasyasi bhārata |
etanme sarvamācakṣva yeṣāṃ spṛhayase nṛpa || 1 ||

"Yudhishthira said, 'Who are deserving of worship? Who are they unto whom one may bow? Who are they, O Bharata, unto whom thou wouldst bend thy head? Who, again, are they whom thou likest? Tell me all this, O prince. What is that upon which thy mind dwells when affliction overwhelms thee? Do thou discourse to me on what is beneficial here, that is, in this region of human beings, as also hereafter.'"
