Vaiśampāyana said: Having completed the entire term of their forest-exile, those heroic men returned—together with their chariots and attendants, and accompanied by their charioteers and household staff. Thereafter the Pāṇḍava heroes came again to the Dvaita forest, having fully endured the whole discipline of living in the wilderness. The verse underscores steadfastness and self-control: they do not evade the consequence of their vow, but complete it and re-enter the narrative field with integrity intact.
