Kāmyaka-vane Pāṇḍava-nivāsaḥ — Vidurasya āgamanam ca (कamyake वने पाण्डवनिवासः—विदुरस्य आगमनं च)

तस्य तदू वचन श्रुत्वा राज्ञस्तमनुमान्य च | संजयो बाढमित्युक्त्वा प्राद्रवत्‌ काम्यकं प्रति,राजाका यह वचन सुनकर संजयने उनका आदर करते हुए “बहुत अच्छा” कहकर काम्यकवनको प्रस्थान किया। जहाँ पाण्डव रहते थे, उस वनमें शीघ्र ही पहुँचकर संजयने देखा, राजा युधिष्छिर मृगचर्म धारण करके विदुरजी तथा सहमों ब्राह्मणोंके साथ बैठे हुए हैं। और देवताओंसे घिरे हुए इन्द्रकी भाँति अपने भाइयोंसे सुरक्षित हैं

tasya tad u vacanaṁ śrutvā rājñas tam anumānya ca | sañjayo bāḍham ity uktvā prādravat kāmyakaṁ prati ||

Disse Vaiśampāyana: Ouvindo as palavras do rei e anuindo com respeito, Sañjaya respondeu: “Assim seja”, e apressou-se rumo à floresta de Kāmyaka. Ao chegar ao bosque onde os Pāṇḍava se encontravam, logo avistou o rei Yudhiṣṭhira sentado, trajando pele de veado, na companhia de Vidura e de muitos brāhmaṇas; protegido por seus irmãos como Indra cercado pelos deuses—imagem que ressalta a dignidade firme e o dharma preservado mesmo no exílio.

Educational Q&A

Even in hardship, dharma is upheld through respectful speech, prompt duty, and simplicity: Sañjaya obeys and hastens as a messenger, while Yudhiṣṭhira’s deerskin and company of Vidura and brāhmaṇas portray disciplined, righteous kingship maintained in exile.

After receiving the king’s instruction, Sañjaya agrees (“bāḍham”) and quickly departs for the Kāmyaka forest, where he finds the exiled Pāṇḍavas—Yudhiṣṭhira seated in ascetic attire with Vidura and brāhmaṇas, guarded by his brothers, likened to Indra among the gods.
