Arjuna’s Account of Tapas and the Kirāta Test; Revelation of Maheśvara and the Grant of the Pāśupata-Astra
स्वेषु वेश्मसु रम्येषु वसतामित्रतापना: । कामान्न परिहास्यन्ति यक्षा वो भरतर्षभा:,'शत्रुओंको संताप देनेवाले भरतकुलभूषण पाण्डवो! तुम सब लोग अपने रमणीय आश्रमोंमें निवास करो। यक्षलोग तुम्हारी अभीष्ट वस्तुओंकी प्राप्तिमें बाधा नहीं डालेंगे
svēṣu vēśmasu ramyēṣu vasatām-itrātāpanāḥ | kāmān na parihāsyanti yakṣā vo bharatarṣabhāḥ ||
Waiśampāyana berkata: “Wahai para pahlawan laksana banteng dari wangsa Bharata, penebar derita bagi musuh—tinggallah dengan tenteram di kediaman kalian yang elok. Para Yakṣa tidak akan menghalangi kalian memperoleh apa yang kalian dambakan.”
