tataḥ kāmyakam āsādya punas te bharatarṣabha | nyaviśanta mahātmānaḥ sāmātyāḥ saparicchadāḥ ||

Kemudian, wahai yang terbaik di antara Bharata, setelah mencapai hutan Kāmyaka, para insan agung itu menetap kembali di sana—bersama para menteri, para pelayan, dan segala perlengkapan yang diperlukan.

Educational Q&A

Even in adversity and exile, the righteous maintain discipline, counsel, and orderly living. The Pāṇḍavas’ resettling with ministers and attendants suggests that dharma includes sustaining responsible governance and preparedness, not merely personal austerity.

Vaiśampāyana reports that the Pāṇḍavas, after reaching the Kāmyaka forest again, settle there once more along with their advisers, attendants, and necessary provisions—marking a renewed establishment of their forest residence.
