आदि पर्व — अध्याय 148: कुन्ती–ब्राह्मणसंवादः (दुःखमूल-प्रश्नः) / Kuntī and the Brahmin: Inquiry into the Root of Suffering
पाण्डवाश्वापि ते सर्वे सह मात्रा सुदु:ःखिता: । बिलेन तेन निर्गत्य जम्मुर्दतमलक्षिता:,उधर समस्त पाण्डव भी अत्यन्त दुःखी हो अपनी माताके साथ सुरंगके मार्गसे निकलकर तुरंत ही दूर चले गये। उन्हें कोई भी देख न सका
pāṇḍavāś cāpi te sarve saha mātrā suduḥkhitāḥ | bilena tena nirgatyā jagmur dūram alakṣitāḥ ||
แล้วบรรดาปาณฑพทั้งปวงก็เศร้าโศกยิ่งนัก ออกไปพร้อมมารดาทางอุโมงค์นั้น และรีบจากไปไกล โดยไม่มีผู้ใดแลเห็น
