The commentators

Bhagavadgītābhāṣyam

ईदृशम् —

आहुः कथयन्ति त्वाम् ऋषयः वसिष्ठादयः सर्वे देवर्षिः नारदः तथा । असितः देवलोऽपि एवमेवाह, व्यासश्च, स्वयं चैव त्वं च ब्रवीषि मे ॥ १३ ॥

In plain words

Something like this —

The sages say this about you — Vasiṣṭha and all the rest, and the divine sage Nārada too. Asita and Devala say exactly the same, and so does Vyāsa. And you yourself have told me this as well.

Close to the Sanskrit

Of this kind —

They say, they declare, of you, the sages — Vasiṣṭha and others — all, and the divine sage Nārada likewise. Asita, Devala too, says just so, and Vyāsa; and you yourself also say this to me.
