Shloka 42
पश्यन्तस्ते नरव्याप्रा रेमिरे तत्र पाण्डवा: । मधुस्रवफल दिव्य॑ ब्रह्मर्षिणणसेवितम्,नरश्रेष्ठ पाण्डव उस स्थानका दर्शन करते हुए वहाँ सब ओर सुखपूर्वक घूमने-फिरने लगे। ब्रह्मर्षियों-द्वारा सेवित जो अपने फलोंसे मधुकी धारा बहानेवाला दिव्य वृक्ष था, उसके निकट जाकर महात्मा पाण्डव ब्राह्मणोंके साथ वहाँ निवास करने लगे। उस समय वे सब महात्मा बड़ी प्रसन्नताके साथ वहाँ सुखपूर्वक रहने लगे
paśyantas te naravyāprā remire tatra pāṇḍavāḥ | madhusravaphalaṁ divyaṁ brahmarṣiṇāṁ sevitam ||
Beholding that place, the energetic Pāṇḍavas delighted there, moving about in comfort. Near a wondrous, divine tree—served by great seers and dripping sweetness from its fruits—they stayed together with brāhmaṇas, living there with serene joy.
