Kāmyaka Forest Meeting: Kṛṣṇa’s Visit; Mārkaṇḍeya and Nārada Arrive

Devanagari script

स तस्य पदमुन्नीय तस्मादेवाश्रमात्‌ प्रभु: । मृगयामास कौन्तेयो भीमसेनं महावने,शक्तिशाली कुन्तीनन्दन युधिष्ठिरने उस महान्‌ वनमें भीमसेनके पदचिह्न देखते हुए उस आश्रमसे निकलकर सब ओर खोजा

Transliteration

sa tasya padam unnīya tasmād evāśramāt prabhuḥ | mṛgayāmāsa kaunteyo bhīmasenaṃ mahāvane ||

Translation

Vaiśampāyana said: Noticing his footprints, the lordly son of Kuntī set out from that very hermitage and searched in every direction through the great forest for Bhīmasena. The scene underscores responsible leadership: Yudhiṣṭhira does not remain passive when a brother is missing, but actively seeks him with care and resolve.
