स ताभ्यां व्यचरत् सार्ध भारयशभ्यां राजसत्तम: | कुन्त्या माद्रया च राजेन्द्रो यथाकामं यथासुखम्,राजाओंमें श्रेष्ठ महाराज पाण्डु अपनी दोनों पत्नियों कुन्ती और माद्रीके साथ आनन्दपूर्वक यथेष्ट विहार करने लगे
sa tābhyāṁ vyacarat sārdhaṁ bhāryābhyāṁ rājasattamaḥ | kuntyā mādrayā ca rājendro yathākāmaṁ yathāsukham ||
Sinabi ni Vaiśampāyana: Si Haring Pāṇḍu, ang pinakadakila sa mga hari, ay namuhay at naglibang kasama ang dalawa niyang asawa—sina Kuntī at Mādrī—nang malaya ayon sa nais niya at sa kaginhawahan.
