Brihadashva said: 'Having slain the hunter, lotus-eyed Damayanti went onward through a terrifying, empty forest resounding with the chirring of crickets. There were lions, tigers, boars, bears, antelopes, leopards, flocks of birds, mlecchas and robbers; the forest was thick with shala trees, bamboo, ashvattha, tinduka, kingshuka, sandalwood, jambu, mango, banyan, date palms and many other trees. She saw mountains veined with various ores, caves, rivers, lakes, pools, beasts and birds, dreadful pishachas, serpents and rakshasas, marshes, ponds, peaks, streams and seas. Endowed with radiance, fame, steadfastness and beauty, the princess of Vidarbha wandered alone, searching for Nala. The daughter of Bhima, wasted by her husband's misfortune, feared no one in that harsh wilderness. Reaching a stone slab, overcome with grief for her husband, she began to weep bitterly.'

The forest becomes an outward image of her inner state: everything around her is dangerous and alien, yet her love for Nala is stronger than fear. Faithfulness gives meaning to her journey even amid this desolation.
