Vaishampayana said: 'Those heroes, the great chariot-warriors, hastening from forest to forest, slaying many herds of deer, departed, O king, between the lands of the Matsyas, Trigartas, Panchalas, and Kichakas, surveying delightful forest tracts and lakes. Having grown the matted locks of ascetics, all clad in garments of bark and hide, together with Kunti, they, great of soul, bore the form of ascetics; at times carrying their mother, hastening, at times walking unhurried at will, they again went swiftly.'

Here the princes, born to the throne, bear their exile in the garb of ascetics. Their humility is telling: those to whom crowns were due wear bark and hide and grow matted locks — adversity did not break them, but clothed them in simplicity. Telling too is that they 'at times carry their mother': amid their flight the sons care for their mother, never setting aside her burdens. Here it is shown that nobility is proven not by rank but by steadfastness and filial love: the righteous keep their dignity and duty even in humiliation. Thus the text reveals the beginning of their hidden wanderings — a school of patience in which the future lords of the earth are tempered.
