Shloka 4
अनुभुक्तफलाहारा: सर्व एव मिताशना: । न्यवसन् पाण्डवास्तत्र कृष्णया सह भार्यया,वहाँ सब पाण्डव अपनी पत्नी द्रौपदीके साथ केवल फलाहार करके परिमित भोजनपर जीवन-निर्वाह करते हुए रहते थे
anubhuktaphalāhārāḥ sarva eva mitāśanāḥ | nyavasan pāṇḍavās tatra kṛṣṇayā saha bhāryayā ||
वैशंपायन म्हणाले—तेथे सर्व पांडव आपल्या पत्नी कृष्णा (द्रौपदी)सह राहात होते; फळाहारावर निर्वाह करीत आणि सर्वजण मिताहारी होते.
