कमलेै: सोत्पलैश्नैव भ्राजमानानि सर्वश: | पश्यन्तश्षारुरूपाणि रेमिरे तत्र पाण्डवा:,खिले हुए उत्पल और कमल सब ओरसे उनकी शोभाका विस्तार करते थे। उन मनोहर सरोवरोंका दर्शन करते हुए पाण्डव वहाँ सानन्द विचरने लगे
kamalaiḥ sotpalaiś caiva bhrājamānāni sarvaśaḥ | paśyantaḥ śārurūpāṇi remire tatra pāṇḍavāḥ ||
Lotos y nenúfares azules resplandecían por doquier, derramando su hermosura en todas direcciones. Contemplando aquellas formas encantadoras, los Pāṇḍavas vagaron allí con alegría: hallaron un breve descanso conforme al dharma en medio de las asperezas del bosque, y sus mentes fueron aquietadas por la pureza y la serenidad de los lagos.

Even during adversity, the righteous can accept moments of calm without abandoning duty; the purity of nature becomes a means to steady the mind and preserve inner balance for dharmic action.
The Pāṇḍavas come upon delightful lakes filled with lotuses and blue lilies; seeing their beauty shining on all sides, they take pleasure and move about there happily, enjoying a peaceful interlude in the forest.
