Draupadī Observed at the Kāmyaka Hermitage
विमुच्य पथि यानानि देशे सुयवसोदके । संनिविष्ट: शुभे रम्ये भूमिभागे यथेप्सितम्
vimucya pathi yānāni deśe suyavasodake | saṃniviṣṭaḥ śubhe ramye bhūmibhāge yathepsitam ||
Vaiśaṃpāyana disse: Depois de desatrelar e pôr de lado os veículos à beira do caminho, ele se instalou—como desejava—num trecho de terra agradável e auspicioso, num lugar rico em boa relva e água.

Educational Q&A
Even in transit, one should act with foresight and restraint—release burdens, choose an auspicious and resource-rich resting place, and maintain orderly conduct. Practical wisdom (selecting grass and water for men and animals) is presented as part of dharmic living.
The narrator describes a halt during travel: the conveyances are unyoked and left by the roadside, and the party (or leader) settles on a pleasant, auspicious patch of land where grass and water are readily available.
