Chapter 157: Draupadi’s request, Bhima’s ascent, and the combat with Maniman
तस्माद् यास्यसि कौन्तेय सिद्धचारणसेवितम् । बहुपुष्पफलं रम्यमाश्रमं वृषपर्वण:,“कुन्तीकुमार! वहाँसे तुम प्रचुर फल-फूलसे सम्पन्न वृषपर्वके रमणीय आश्रमपर जाओ, जहाँ सिद्ध और चारण निवास करते हैं
tasmād yāsyasi kaunteya siddhacāraṇasevitam | bahupuṣpaphalaṁ ramyam āśramaṁ vṛṣaparvaṇaḥ ||
“അതുകൊണ്ട്, ഹേ കൗന്തേയാ! അവിടെ നിന്ന് സിദ്ധരും ചാരണരും സേവിക്കുന്ന, അനവധി പുഷ്പഫലങ്ങളാൽ സമൃദ്ധമായ, മനോഹരമായ വൃഷപർവന്റെ ആശ്രമത്തിലേക്ക് പോകുക.”

Educational Q&A
Seek environments that cultivate dharma: a hermitage rich in natural abundance and frequented by spiritually accomplished beings symbolizes a setting that supports self-restraint, right counsel, and moral steadiness during trials.
Vaiśampāyana directs the addressed Pāṇḍava (“Kaunteya”) to proceed from the current location to Vṛṣaparvan’s pleasant hermitage, described as abundant in flowers and fruits and visited by Siddhas and Cāraṇas.
