प्रावृट्-शरत्-वर्णनम् — Description of the Monsoon and Autumn; Sarasvatī in the Pāṇḍavas’ Exile

मृगयां परिधावन्‌ स समेषु मरुधन्वसु विध्यन्‌ मृगान्‌ शरै: शुद्ध क्षचार स महाबल:,महाबली भीम सारे मरु प्रदेशमें शिकारके लिये दौड़ते और केवल बाणोंद्वारा हिंसक पशुओंको घायल करते हुए विचरा करते थे

mṛgayāṃ paridhāvan sa sameṣu marudhanvasu vidhyan mṛgān śaraiḥ śuddhakṣaraḥ sa mahābalaḥ

ವೈಶಂಪಾಯನನು ಹೇಳಿದರು—ಮಹಾಬಲಿಯಾದ ಭೀಮನು ಸಮತಟ್ಟಾದ ಮರುಭೂಮಿ ಪ್ರದೇಶಗಳಲ್ಲಿ ಬೇಟೆಯ ಹಿಂದೆ ಓಡಾಡುತ್ತಾ ಸಂಚರಿಸುತ್ತಿದ್ದನು. ಅವನು ತನ್ನ ಬಾಣಗಳಿಂದ ಕಾಡುಮೃಗಗಳನ್ನು ವಿದ್ಧಿಸಿ, ನಿಯಮಿತ ಬಲದಿಂದ ಆ ಒಣ ನೆಲದಲ್ಲಿ ಮುಂದುವರಿದನು.

Educational Q&A

The verse frames hunting as controlled, purposeful force: Bhīma’s strength is shown as disciplined action in harsh conditions, suggesting restraint and responsibility even when violence is involved.

During the forest-exile setting, Bhīma moves through desert-like tracts, pursuing game and striking animals with arrows as part of the group’s practical needs and protection while traveling.
