evaṁ tatrāśrame teṣāṁ tadā nivasatāṁ satām | kālas tapasyatāṁ kaścid apākrāmat bhārata, bharatanandana ||
Translation
O Bhārata, O joy of the Bharata line, as those virtuous ones dwelt in that hermitage and practiced austerities, some time passed by there in the course of their disciplined life. The verse underscores how steady residence, restraint, and tapas quietly mature events without haste or agitation.
