दीप्तानलनिभः प्राह भगवान्धूम्रवर्चसे । ततोऽहमपि वक्ष्यामि भूयः पुत्र निदर्शनम् ॥
Bhishma said Do you, O son, O sinless one, listen once more, with feeling of great pride, to the words given vent to by the Island-born Rishi on the subject of the enumeration of the principles. Like a blazing fire, the great Rishi said these words to his son who took after a fire wrapped in smoke. Instructed by what he said, I also, O son, shall again explain to you that certain knowledge.
