3.3.2

prasthitaṃ mānuyāntīme brāhmaṇā vedapāragāḥ |
na cāsmi pālane śakto bahuduḥkhasamanvitaḥ || 2 ||

"Vaisampayana said, 'Yudhishthira the son of Kunti, thus addressed by Saunaka, approached his priest and in the midst of his brothers said, 'The Brahmanas versed in the Vedas are following me who am departing for the forest. Afflicted with many calamities I am unable to support them. I cannot abandon them, nor have I the power to offer them sustenance: Tell me, O holy one, what should be done by me in such a pass.'
