Bhagavad Gita 10.13

आहुस्त्वामृषयः सर्वे देवर्षिर्नारदस्तथा।असितो देवलो व्यासः स्वयं चैव ब्रवीषि मे॥

āhustvāmṛṣayaḥ sarve devarṣirnāradastathā |asito devalo vyāsaḥ svayaṃ caiva bravīṣi me ||

All the sages have thus declared Thee, as also the divine sage Narada; so also Asita, Devala, and Vyasa; and now Thou Thyself dost say so to me.

So have said the seers, the divine sage Narada, Asita, Devala, and Vyasa; and Thou Thyself also sayest it.

Translation by Shri Purohit Swami · Public domain in India (translator d. 1941)
