The mighty archers, the Pandavas, urged on by the envoy's words, thought of this very matter and found no rest anywhere. Again, O king, the spies brought word of the charioteer's son's vow to slay Vijaya. Hearing this, the son of Dharma grew troubled, O lord of men: he considered Karna unbreakable because of his armor and wondrous prowess, recalled the sufferings he had endured, and found no peace. As this thought took hold of his great soul, the resolve was born in him to abandon the forest of Dvaitavana, teeming with many beasts of prey and wild animals. The son of Dhritarashtra, meanwhile, the king, ruled the earth together with his heroic brothers, and with Bhishma, Drona and Kripa. Duryodhana, lord of the earth, ever acting pleasingly together with the charioteer's son Karna, resplendent in battle, honored the foremost brahmins with sacrifices and abundant gifts, and, O king, did what was most pleasing to his brothers, having resolved in his mind that wealth given and enjoyed bears fruit."

Karna's vow becomes a psychological shadow hanging over the Pandavas' forest. Yudhishthira does not panic, but soberly changes their dwelling place and keeps his brothers safe.
