Translation
Vaiśampāyana said: “When shall I see Bībhatsu (Arjuna) again—returned after mastering the science of weapons—gentle in speech, noble and unpetty in conduct, endowed with compassion, and ever vigilant? I keep thinking of him with unwearied longing, wishing to behold him to my heart’s content.”
