अर्थMeaning
Yâgñavalkya came to Ganaka Vaideha, and he did not mean to speak with him . But when formerly Ganaka Vaideha and Yâgñavalkya had a disputation on the Agnihotra, Yâgñavalkya had granted him a boon, and he chose (for a boon) that he might be free to ask him any question he liked. Yâgñavalkya granted it, and thus the King was the first to ask him a question.

व्याख्याVyakhya
याज्ञवल्क्य विदेहराज जनक के पास गए; उन्होंने सोचा था कि (आज) कुछ नहीं बोलूँगा। पर पहले जब विदेहराज जनक और याज्ञवल्क्य ने अग्निहोत्र के विषय में संवाद किया था, तब याज्ञवल्क्य ने उसे एक वर दिया था, और उसने इच्छानुसार प्रश्न पूछने का वर माँगा था; वह (वर) उन्होंने उसे दे दिया था। इसलिए सम्राट् ने ही पहले उनसे प्रश्न किया।
