4.24

sa ca pṛṣṭo mayā prāha santi vindhye mahācale /
droṇaputrā mahātmānaste vakṣmantyarthavistaram //

Jaimini spoke:
“Let the reason be heard, O brāhmans, why I have come here to the Vindhya mountain’s delightful cave, which is sprinkled with drops of water from the river Narmadā. At first I questioned the great Muni Mārkaṇḍeya, a scion of Bhṛgu’s race, since I found difficulties in connexion with the Mahābhārata. And he, when asked by me, replied, ‘Droṇa’s high-souled sons are living on the mighty Vindhya mountain; they will declare the full meaning to thee.’ And I, impelled by his speech, have come to this great mountain: therefore hear me fully; having heard, deign to give an explanation.”
