O King, the hand-maids, of Damayanti beholding her that condition and features, represented them to the ruler of Vidharbha. The king Bhima hearing all from the handmaids was set to serious thinking regarding the affair of his daughter; the thought within, himself why was it that his daughter scemed to be so uncasy at present.
तामस्वस्थां तदाकारां सख्यस्ता जजुरिङ्गितः। ततो विदर्भपतये दमयन्त्याः सखीजनः॥ न्यवेदयत् तामस्वस्थां दमयन्ती नरेश्वरे। तच्छ्रुत्वा नृपतिर्भीमो दमयन्ती सखीगणात्॥ चिन्तयामास तत् कार्यं सुमहत् स्वां सुतां प्रति। किमर्थं दुहिता मेऽद्य नातिस्वस्थेव लक्ष्यते॥
