Bhimasena, fearless from his great prowess, went into that hilly region inhabited by the buffaloes, bears and leopards, as if he had been invited by the forest-trees, shaken by the breeze, ever fragrant with flowers and bearing beautiful copper-coloured twigs. He passed by lakes, each having romantic descents and woods, adorned with lotuses and lilies, which were swarıned with maddened black bees. On account of the presence of the lotus-buds, they appeared as if they had joined hands (before Bhima).
महिषैश्च वराहैश्च शार्दूलैश्च निषेवितम्। व्यपेतभीर्गिरि शौर्याद् भीमसेनो व्यगाहत॥ कुसुमानन्तगन्धैश्च ताम्रपल्लवकोमलैः।। याच्यमान इवारण्ये दुमैर्मारुतकम्पितैः॥ कृतपद्माञ्जलिपुटा मत्तषट् पदसेविताः। प्रियतीर्थवना मार्गे पद्मिनी: समतिक्रम॥
