Shloka 11
नलस्य बाहुकत्वेन ऋतुपर्णनगरप्रवेशः
Nala as Bāhuka enters Ṛtuparṇa’s city
नाबिभ्यत् सा नृपसुता भैमी तत्राथ कस्यचित् | दारुणामटवीं प्राप्प भर्तृव्यसनपीडिता,वह पतिके विरहरूपी संकटसे संतप्त थी। अतः राजकुमारी दमयन्ती उस भयंकर वनमें प्रवेश करके भी किसी जीव-जन्तुसे भयभीत नहीं हुई
nābibhyat sā nṛpasutā bhaimī tatrātha kasyacit | dāruṇām aṭavīṁ prāpya bhartṛvyasanapīḍitā ||
ブリハダシュヴァは語った。「王の娘でありながら、ビーミー（ダマヤンティー）はそこでは誰をも恐れなかった。夫と離れた災いに苦しめられつつも、彼女はその恐るべき森へ踏み入り、いかなる生きものにも怯まなかった。」

Educational Q&A
True steadiness arises from inner resolve: when the mind is fixed on a higher commitment (here, devotion to one’s spouse and the duty to seek him), external भय (fear) loses its power even in harsh conditions.
Bṛhadaśva describes Damayantī wandering after being separated from Nala. Though she enters a terrifying forest, her grief and determination are so intense that she is not afraid of any beings there.
