Āraṇyaka-parva Adhyāya 44 — Arjuna’s Entry into Nandana and Audience with Indra
गीतवादित्रनृत्यानि भूय एवादिदेश ह । तथापि नालभच्छर्म तपस्वी द्यूतकारितम्,चित्रसेनने उन्हें गीत, वाद्य और नृत्यकी बार-बार शिक्षा दी तो भी द्यूतजनित अपमानका स्मरण करके तपस्वी अर्जुनको तनिक भी शान्ति नहीं मिली

ಚಿತ್ರಸೇನನು ಅವನಿಗೆ ಮರುಮರು ಗೀತ, ವಾದ್ಯ, ನೃತ್ಯಗಳನ್ನು ಬೋಧಿಸಿದನು; ಆದರೂ ಜೂಜಿನಿಂದ ಉಂಟಾದ ಅವಮಾನಸ್ಮರಣೆ ಕಾರಣ ತಪಸ್ವಿಯಾದ ಅರ್ಜುನನಿಗೆ ಅಲ್ಪವೂ ಶಾಂತಿ ದೊರಕಲಿಲ್ಲ.

During the forest-exile setting, Chitrasena keeps teaching Arjuna the arts of song, instrumental music, and dance; however, Arjuna—described as an ascetic—still cannot find peace because he continues to remember the disgrace that arose from the gambling episode.
