FIRST BRÂHMANA
1. When Ganaka Vaideha was sitting (to give audience), Yâgñavalkya approached, and Ganaka Vaideha said: 'Yâgñavalkya, for what object did you come, wishing for cattle, or for subtle questions 1?'
Yâgñavalkya replied: 'For both, Your Majesty;
janako ha vaideha āsāñcakre āsanaṃ kṛtavānāsthāyikāṃ dattavānityarthaḥ, darśanakāmebhyo rājñaḥ |
atha ha tasminnavasare yājñavalkyaḥ āvavrāja-āgatavānātmano yogakṣemārtham, rājño vā vivadiṣāṃ dṛṣṭvānugrahārtham |
