'But without this hero, the best of men, we, together with Krishna, cannot gather our spirits in Kamyaka. Tell us, revered one, of another forest -- pure, pleasant, rich in food and fruit, frequented by men of virtuous deeds. There we shall dwell for some time and await the truly valiant Arjuna, as one awaits a rain cloud. Name for us the hermitages known among the twice-born, the lakes, rivers, and beautiful mountains. Without Arjuna we have no heart to live in this forest of Kamyaka; let us go in another direction.'
