तत्रावेक्ष्य दिशः सर्वाः सव्यसाचिदिदृक्षया ॥
युधिष्ठिरो ददर्शाथ नैव पार्थं न माधवम् ॥
सो ऽपश्यन् नरशार्दूलं वानरर्षभलक्षणम् ॥
गाण्डीवस्य च निर्घोषम् अशृण्वन् व्यथितेन्द्रियः ॥
अपश्यन् सात्यकिं चापि वृष्णीनां प्रवरं रथम् ॥
चिन्तयाभिपरीताङ्गो धर्मराजो युधिष्ठिरः ॥
नाध्यगच्छत् तदा शान्तिं ताव् अपश्यन् नरर्षभौ ॥

Having looked over all directions there, longing to see Savyasachin, Yudhishthira then did not behold either Partha or Madhava. Not seeing the tiger among men with the monkey sign, and not hearing the roar of Gandiva, his senses shaken, not seeing Satyaki either, the foremost warrior of the Vrishnis — the King of Dharma, Yudhishthira, was overcome by anxiety.

The silence of Gandiva and the invisibility of the monkey banner wound the brother's heart: "aśṛṇvan… vyathitendriyaḥ", not hearing it, he is shaken. It is telling that love is troubled by the absence of the beloved's sign. The verse teaches that a loving heart is tormented by not knowing: silence where the voice of the beloved should sound is more frightening than bad news, for in uncertainty the imagination paints the worst.
