[Advaita-l] [advaitin] Looking for a verse: अवश्यं भाविभावानां.....

Since the Yogavasishtha is itself in the form of a dialog between Vasishtha
and Rama, I doubt if the verse avaSyambhAvi ... appears in it. I have seen
no reference to Yudhishthira in the Yogavasishtha so far.

Best regards,
Vidyasankar
