sa nāgabhavane rātriṃ tām uṣitvā pratāpavān | udite 'bhyutthitaḥ sūrye kauravyasya niveśanāt ||
Vaiśampāyana sprach: Nachdem der Tapfere jene Nacht in der Wohnstatt des Nāga-Königs verbracht hatte—strahlend an Kraft und Ruhm—erhob er sich bei Sonnenaufgang und trat aus der Residenz der Kaurava hervor, dem natürlichen Lauf der Zeit folgend.
