അവന്റെ പാദമുദ്രകൾ കണ്ട കുന്തീപുത്രൻ ധർമ്മരാജൻ യുധിഷ്ഠിരൻ അതേ ആശ്രമത്തിൽ നിന്നു പുറപ്പെട്ടു, മഹാവനത്തിൽ എല്ലാദിക്കുകളിലും ഭീമസേനനെ അന്വേഷിച്ചു തുടങ്ങി।

Educational Q&A

The verse highlights dharmic leadership and familial duty: when a companion is unaccounted for, one should act promptly, investigate carefully (even by small signs like footprints), and take responsibility rather than waiting for events to unfold.

Yudhiṣṭhira notices Bhīma’s footprints, leaves the hermitage immediately, and searches throughout the forest to find him.
