SECTION CLXX
(Chaitraratha Parva continued)
"Vaisampayana said, 'Hearing these words of
the Brahmana, the sons of Kunti seemed to be, as it were, pierced with darts.
Indeed, all those mighty heroes lost their peace of mind. Then the truthful
Kunti, beholding all her sons listless and inattentive, addressed Yudhishthira
and said, 'We have now lived many nights in the abode of this Brahmana. We have
passed our time pleasantly in this town, living on the alms obtained from many
honest and illustrious persons. O oppressor of foes, as we have now seen often
and often all the agreeable woods and gardens that are in this part of the
country, seeing them again would no longer give any pleasure. O heroic scion of
Kuru's race, alms also are not now obtainable here as easily as before. If thou
wishest it would be well for us now to go to Panchala; we have not seen that
country, it will, no doubt, O hero, prove delightful to us. O crusher of foes,
it hath been heard by us that alms are obtainable in the country of the
Panchala, and that Yajnasena, the king thereof, is devoted to Brahmanas. I am
of opinion that it is not good to live long in one place. Therefore, O son, if
thou likest, it is good for us to go there.'
"Hearing these words, Yudhishthira said, 'It
is our duty to obey thy command, which, besides, must be for our good, I do
not, however, know whether my younger brothers are willing to go.'"
