Vaishampayana said: 'These heroes, with bows drawn, quivers and arrows, gloves upon their fingers and swords at their sides, the foremost of all archers blazing with boundless splendor, taking with them the best of the twice-born and Panchali, O king, set out for Gandhamadana. On the summit of the mountain they beheld lakes, rivers, mountains, forests, and trees of dense shade, lands where flowers and fruits were ever present, attended by hosts of divine sages. Establishing themselves in themselves, the heroes lived on roots and fruits and passed through lands of varied contour, rugged and narrow, beholding many kinds of beasts. The great souls entered the mountain inhabited by kinnaras, beloved of gandharvas and apsaras, full of rishis, siddhas, and immortals.'
