śrī-rājā uvāca - King Citraketu said; kau - who; yuvām - you two; jñāna-sampannau - fully developed in knowledge; mahiṣṭhau - the greatest; ca - also; mahīyasām - among other great personalities; avadhūtena - of the liberated wandering mendicants; veṣeṇa - by the dress; gūḍhau - disguised; iha - in this place; samāgatau - arrived.

King Citraketu said: You have both come here dressed like avadhūtas, liberated persons, just to cover your identities, but I see that of all men, you are the most elevated in awareness. You know everything as it is. Therefore you are the greatest of all great personalities.
