Vaiśampāyana said: O King, while those fierce bowmen (the Pāṇḍavas) were living in the forest, there came to them—arriving from the hermitage—the royal sage Vṛṣaparvan. Thus, in the course of their forest-dwelling, a significant visitor approached them from an ascetic retreat, setting the stage for counsel and testing of conduct amid exile.
