Adhyāya 32: Tāpasānāṃ Darśanaṃ — Ascetics Seek to Identify the Pāṇḍavas
Devanagari script
आज शम्मुस्ते महात्मान: सवाहा: सपदानुगा: । कितने ही राक्षसों और पिशाचोंके लोकोंमें चले गये और कितने ही उत्तरकुरुमें जा पहुँचे। इस प्रकार सबको विचित्र-विचित्र गतियोंकी प्राप्ति हुई थी और वे महामना वहींसे देवताओंके साथ अपने-अपने वाहनों और अनुचरोंसहित आये थे
Translation
On that day, many great-souled ones, together with their mounts and attendants, departed. Some went to the worlds of rākṣasas and piśācas, and some reached Uttara-kuru. Thus all attained diverse and wondrous destinations; and from there those magnanimous beings came with the gods, each with their own vehicles and retinues.
