अर्थMeaning
She said: 'O Yâgñavalkya, as the son of a warrior from the Kâsîs or Videhas might string his loosened bow, take two pointed foe-piercing arrows in his hand and rise to do battle, I have risen to fight thee with two questions. Answer me these questions.' Yâgñavalkya said: 'Ask, O Gârgî.'

व्याख्याVyakhya
उसने कहा, 'याज्ञवल्क्य, जैसे काशी या विदेह का कोई वीर-पुत्र उतरी हुई डोरी वाले धनुष पर डोरी चढ़ाकर, शत्रु को अत्यन्त बींधने वाले दो बाण हाथ में लेकर (युद्ध के लिए) उठ खड़ा हो, वैसे ही मैं दो प्रश्न लेकर तुम्हारे सामने खड़ी हुई हूँ। मुझे उनका उत्तर दो।' (याज्ञवल्क्य ने कहा,) 'गार्गी, पूछो।'
