Traducción

Vaishampayana said: "While these wielders of terrible bows dwelt in a forest full of wonders, having reached the hermitage of the royal sage Vrishaparvan, Vrikodara one day, bow in hand and sword at his side, beheld a beautiful forest frequented by gods and gandharvas. He beheld the auspicious regions of Mount Himavat, where devarshis and siddhas walked, and where hosts of apsaras came. Here and there resounded chakoras, chakravakas, jivajivaka birds, cuckoos, and bhringarajas. The forest was filled with trees ever in flower and fruit, soft to the touch of snow, dense with shade, delighting the mind and the eyes. Bhima beheld mountain rivers with waters like vaidurya, cold from the snow, filled with swans and karandavas; he beheld forests of deodar, like nets of clouds, mingled with haricandana and tall kaliyaka trees. Hunting over the level ground of Marudhanva, the man of great strength went about, striking down beasts with unsullied arrows."

Comentario

The forest's beauty frames the danger to come: Bhima enters it as hunter and hero, but nature itself will soon teach him a different lesson.
