विदुर-धृतराष्ट्रसंवादः
Vidura–Dhṛtarāṣṭra Dialogue on Rajadharma and Restitution
सरस्वतीदृषद्धत्यौ यमुनां च निषेव्य ते । ययुर्वनेनैव वनं सततं पश्चिमां दिशम्,उन्होंने क्रमशः सरस्वती, दृषद्वती और यमुना नदीका सेवन करते हुए एक वनसे दूसरे वनमें प्रवेश किया। इस प्रकार वे निरन्तर पश्चिम दिशाकी ओर बढ़ते गये
sarasvatīdṛṣadvatyau yamunāṃ ca niṣevya te | yayur vanenaiva vanaṃ satataṃ paścimāṃ diśam ||
Họ lần lượt nương theo các dòng Sarasvatī, Dṛṣadvatī và Yamunā—dùng nước, trú dọc bờ—rồi cứ thế băng qua rừng thẳm, từ khu rừng này sang khu rừng khác, không ngừng tiến về hướng tây.

Educational Q&A
The verse highlights disciplined movement and purposeful conduct: the travelers sustain themselves by legitimate means (resorting to rivers and forest paths) and proceed steadily toward their aim. It reflects a dharmic ideal of restraint and order even while wandering in hardship.
The group travels through successive forests, staying along and using the waters of the Sarasvatī, Dṛṣadvatī, and Yamunā rivers, and continues onward in a westward direction.
