Adhyāya 32: Tāpasānāṃ Darśanaṃ — Ascetics Seek to Identify the Pāṇḍavas
आमन्त्रयान्योन्यमाश्लिष्य ततो जम्मुर्यथागतम् । वे वीर और उनकी वे तरुणी स्त्रियाँ एक रात साथ-साथ विहार करके अन्तमें एक- दूसरेकी अनुमति ले परस्पर गले मिलकर जैसे आये थे, उसी प्रकार चले जानेको उद्यत हुए
āmantaryānyonyam āśliṣya tato jagmur yathāgatam |
毗湿摩波耶那说：他们彼此辞别，相互拥抱，随后启程，循着来时之路返回。此一幕彰显了在共同相伴之后仍能礼貌自持地分离——强调相互允诺、端正礼法与行止有序，即便在人情牵系之中亦不失规矩。

The verse highlights dharmic decorum in relationships: companionship is framed by mutual permission (āmantarya), respectful closure (anyonyam), and self-restraint—leaving in an orderly manner (yathāgatam) rather than being driven by impulse.
After spending time together, the group formally takes leave, embraces one another, and departs, returning by the same way they arrived; it functions as a narrative closure to a brief episode of meeting and parting.
