Araṇi Lost to the Deer: Pāṇḍavas Pursue to Preserve Agnihotra (अरणी-हरण प्रसङ्गः)
ततः सुमनस: शेषा: प्रतिगृह्य महात्मन: । पितु: समीपमगमद् देवी श्रीरिव रूपिणी,तदनन्तर इष्टदेवताका प्रसाद लेकर मूर्तिमती लक्ष्मीदेवीके समान सुशोभित होती हुई वह अपने महात्मा पिताके समीप गयी
tataḥ sumanasaḥ śeṣāḥ pratigṛhya mahātmanaḥ | pituḥ samīpam agamad devī śrīr iva rūpiṇī ||
Lalu, setelah menerima sisa persembahan yang membawa berkah, ia—bersinar dalam rupa laksana Dewi Śrī (Lakṣmī)—pergi menghadap ayahnya yang mulia.
