Mahabharat Adi Parva Adhyaya 01

00. नारायणं नमस्कृत्य नरं चैव नरॊत्तमम

देवीं सरस्वतीं चैव ततॊ जयम उदीरयेत

nārāyaṇaṃ namaskṛtya naraṃ caiva narottamam.

devīṃ sarasvatīṃ caiva tato jayam udīrayet

Om! Having bowed down to Narayana and Nara, the most exalted male being, and also to the goddess Saraswati, must the word Jaya be uttered.

lomaharṣaṇaputra ugraśravāḥ sūtaḥ paurāṇiko naimiṣāraṇye śaunakasya kulapater dvādaśavārṣike satre. 

Ugrasrava, the son of Lomaharshana, surnamed Sauti, well-versed in the Puranas, bending with humility, one day approached the great sages of rigid vows, sitting at their ease, who had attended the twelve years' sacrifice of Saunaka, surnamed Kulapati, in the forest of Naimisha

02. समासीनान अभ्यगच्छद बरह्मर्षीन संशितव्रतान

samāsīnān abhyagacchad brahmarṣīn saṃśitavratān
vinayāvanato bhūtvā kadā cit sūtanandanaḥ
