ऋक्षबिलप्रवेशः — Entry into the Rikshabilam Cave

महार्हाणि च पानानि मधूनि रसवन्ति च।दिव्यानामम्बराणां च महार्हाणां च सञ्चयान्।।।।कम्बलानां च चित्राणामजिनानां च सञ्चयान्।

mahārhāṇi ca pānāni madhūni rasavanti ca |

divyānām ambarāṇāṃ ca mahārhāṇāṃ ca sañcayān ||

kambalānāṃ ca citrāṇām ajinānāṃ ca sañcayān ||

They found choice drinks and sweet, flavorful honeys, and splendid stores of costly garments—together with collections of variegated blankets and heaps of animal-skins.

(They found) excellent drinks and many kinds of honey, wonderful collections of clothes, colourful blankets and heaps of animal skin.

The verse lists stored luxuries discovered in the search context, highlighting material abundance that must be handled with restraint and rightful purpose—an implicit dharmic contrast between wealth and disciplined duty.

Satya is conveyed through straightforward, factual narration: the text simply reports what was found, supporting the epic’s ethical emphasis that truthful description and reporting are foundational to right action.
