Text 30
evaṁ vadanti rājarṣe
ṛṣayaḥ ke ca nānvitāḥ
yat sva-vāco virudhyeta
nūnaṁ te na smaranty uta
evam — so; vadanti — say; rāja-ṛṣe — O sage among kings (Parīkṣit); ṛṣayaḥ — sages; ke ca — some; na — not; anvitāḥ — reasoning correctly; yat — since; sva — their own; vācaḥ — words; virudhyeta — are contradicted; nūnam — for certain; te — they; na smaranti — do not remember; uta — indeed.
Such is the account given by some sages, O wise King, but those who speak in this illogical way are contradicting themselves, having forgotten their own previous statements.

This will be further explained in the following verses.
