takes place in his case who devotes himself to its constant practice (nityayuktasya) for a period of six months (XIV, 19). In this connection the ancient narrative of a discourse between a married couple is cited: [Brāhmaṇagītā] (b) (XIV, 20-34). Asked by Arjuna about Brāhman, Kṛṣṇa recited the old story of the discourse between a preceptor and his disciple on this subject: Guruçiṣyasaṃvāda (g). Asked by Arjuna, Kṛṣṇa said that he is the preceptor, and the mind his pupil; "formerly, when the hour of battle came, this very religion was declared by me; and now, it is long since I saw my father; I wish to see him again with thy leave." Vaiçampāyana said: Arjuna replied: "We shall go to-day from this town to Hāstinapura and inform Yudhishṭhira" (XIV, 35-51). — § 783: Vaiçampāyana said: Kṛṣṇa caused Dāruka to yoke his car, and then set out for Hāstinapura with Arjuna. Arjuna praised Kṛṣṇa, "the soul of the universe, etc.," as he had learned from Nārada, etc. (a), saying that Çri is always established in him, and mentioning Duryodhana, etc. (β). Arrived at Hāstinapura, they entered the palace of Dhṛtarāṣṭra, where they saw Dhṛtarāṣṭra, etc. (γ). Kṛṣṇa passed the night in the apartments of Arjuna. At morning they proceeded to Yudhishṭhira, who sat with his ministers; Yudhishṭhira mentioned Vasudeva (his maternal uncle), etc. (e), and to come back to his horse-sacrifice.
