You are becoming too childish. If you did not know Mahabharata has many editions. I am using Calcutta Edition and in that this shloka (after a couple of hours of searching) was found in chapter 207 of the Shanti Parva. What is lying about it?

As we have asked you before and you have not answered:
a) Did Greeks tell Indians that they were yavans?
b) Did Greeks call each other yavans?
c) Did Indians know that Greeks came from Ionia and hence should be
called yavans (Ionians)?
d) Why did Indians continue to use the word yavan for Mughals and
later for Brits?

. . .

Did Indians tell Greek they were Indians?

Did Indians call each other Indians

Did Greeks know that Indians came from India and hence should be called Indians

Why did Greeks continue to use the word Indian for Native Americans and later for "West Indians"?
