"Voice: Give me an example of space.
Yudhisthira: My two hands as one."
What does that mean?

@forestinfullbloom Hey, any chance you can answer this?

An English translation by K M Ganguli (1886) is available for reading on 'sacred text' wesbite. This episode is Chapter 3 section 311.

@forestinfullbloom I agree that there are some issues in transliteration - the "Space" question doesn't make much sense to me as is, though I assume it makes more sense in the original. What can you tell me of its meaning?

@forestinfullbloom Hindu Hipster, eh?

Not good. It misses the impact of the mahabharata. This is a very thought provoking dialogue between Dharma (Law) and Yudhisthira. But the impact is totally lost. Unfortunately, there are no good translations of Mahabharata available online.

Happy Dipavali 2010! Peace and prosperity to all!
Not Hindu, but I've read the Mahabharata and Ramayana, and to me this was one of the most beautiful exchanges in the entire epic.
