Vasiṣṭha as Purohita: Ascetic Mastery and Royal Counsel
ततो भीमस्तमादाय गतासुं पुरुषादकम् । द्वारदेशे विनिक्षिप्प जगामानुपलक्षित:,तदनन्तर भीमसेनने उस राक्षसकी लाश उठाकर नगरके दरवाजेपर गिरा दी और स्वयं दूसरोंकी दृष्टिसे अपनेको बचाते हुए चले गये
tato bhīmas tam ādāya gatāsuṃ puruṣādakam | dvāradeśe vinikṣipya jagāmānupalakṣitaḥ ||
แล้วภีมะก็ยกศพรากษสกินคนซึ่งสิ้นชีวิตแล้วไปทิ้งไว้ ณ บริเวณประตูเมือง และจากไปโดยไม่มีผู้ใดสังเกตเห็น
