Bhīmasena’s Himalayan Hunt and Seizure by the Ajagara (भीमसेनस्य अजगरग्रहणम्)
वैशम्पायन उवाच एवमागमनं तत्र कथयित्वा धनंजय: भ्रातृभि: सहित: सर्वे रजनीं तामुवास ह,वैशम्पायनजी कहते हैं--राजन्! इस प्रकार अपने आगमनका वृत्तान्त सुनाकर सब भाइयोंसहित अर्जुनने वहाँ वह रात व्यतीत की
Vaiśampāyana uvāca: evam āgamanam tatra kathayitvā dhanañjayaḥ bhrātṛbhiḥ sahitaḥ sarve rajanīṃ tām uvāsa ha.
Vaiśampāyana said: Having thus related there the account of his arrival, Dhanañjaya (Arjuna), together with all his brothers, spent that night in that place.
वैशम्पायन उवाच
Educational Q&A
The verse highlights ethical steadiness and cohesion: after giving a truthful account of one’s actions, one returns to the support of family/community, and a deliberate pause (spending the night together) prepares the mind for the next dharmic step.
Vaiśampāyana narrates that Arjuna, after describing the details of his arrival to the others, remains there with all his brothers and they pass the night together.
