Portents, Pursuit to the Nalinī, and Yudhiṣṭhira’s Restraint Toward Bhīma
Saugandhika-padma Continuation
तद् दृष्टवा लब्धकाम: स मनसा पाण्डुनन्दन: । वनवासपरिक्लिष्टां जगाम मनसा प्रियाम्,उस वनको देखकर पाण्डुनन्दन भीमने मन-ही-मन यह अनुभव किया कि मेरा मनोरथ पूर्ण हो गया। फिर उन्हें वनवासके क्लेशोंसे पीड़ित अपनी प्रियतमा द्रौपदीकी याद आ गयी
tad dṛṣṭvā labdhakāmaḥ sa manasā pāṇḍunandanaḥ | vanavāsaparikliṣṭāṃ jagāma manasā priyām ||
Als er dies sah, empfand Bhīmasena, der Sohn Pāṇḍus, in seinem Innern, dass sein Vorhaben erfüllt sei. Dann wandte sich sein Geist seiner geliebten Draupadī zu, die von den Mühen des Waldexils gezeichnet war—vom unmittelbaren Erfolg hin zur mitleidsvollen Erinnerung an gemeinsames Leid und gemeinsame Pflicht.

Educational Q&A
Even when one’s immediate objective is achieved, dharmic character is shown by turning the mind toward those who bear hardship—remembering and caring for loved ones suffering in exile, and letting success deepen responsibility rather than pride.
After witnessing a sight/event that convinces him his aim is accomplished, the Pāṇḍava (identified in the given context as Bhīma) inwardly reflects and then remembers Draupadī, who is distressed by the rigors of forest exile.
