धृतराष्ट्राश्रमगमनम् — The Pandavas’ Procession to Dhritarashtra’s Hermitage
अथ पुण्यं गिरिवरमस्तम भ्यगमद् रवि: । ततः कृताभिषेकास्ते नैशं कर्म समाचरन्,तदनन्तर सूर्यदेव परम पवित्र अस्ताचलको जा पहुँचे। उस समय सब लोग स्नान करके सायंकालोचित संध्यावन्दन आदि कर्म करने लगे
atha puṇyaṃ girivaram astaṃ abhyagamad raviḥ | tataḥ kṛtābhiṣekās te naiśaṃ karma samācaran ||
毗舍波耶那说：随后，太阳沉向那圣洁而卓绝的群山之后，渐近落山。其后，众人沐浴净身，行夜间应行之事——如黄昏礼拜“桑提亚·万达那”（sandhyā-vandana）等。此景彰显日常之戒律：纵在艰难与变迁之中，亦以恒常仪轨与自制来护持法（dharma）。
