Were the Pandavas awakened from their sleep ever since their infancy, O Keshava; who again, were by the roar of elephants and neighing of horses and by the rattles of the wheels of the chariots awakened from sleep at home-also by the sound of conches and cymbals accompanied with the music of flutes and lyres; and whose praises were sung by the twice-born at the break of day in high sounding songs; and who worshipped the deserving Brahmanas with the raiment's, gems and jewels; who, worthy of respect, themselves were blessed and done homage to by the largesouled Brahmanas by laudatory hymns and worshipped as well. How could they, lying on soft blankets and skin of the Ranku deer in the best parts of the palace, be awakened by hearing the loud roar of animals in the great forest?
पाण्डवाः समबोध्यन्त बाल्यात् प्रभृति केशव। ये स्म वारणशब्देन हयानां हेषितेन च॥ रथनेमिनिनादैश्च व्यबोध्यन्त तदा गृहे। शङ्खभेरीनिनादेन वेणुवीणानुनादिना॥ पुण्याहघोषमिश्रेण पूज्यमाना द्विजातिभिः। वस्त्रै रत्नैरलंकारैः पूजयन्तो द्विजन्मनः॥ गीर्भिर्मङ्गलयुक्ताभिर्ब्राह्मणानां महात्मनाम्। अर्चितैरर्चनाहश्च स्तुवद्भिरभिनन्दिताः॥ प्रासादाचेष्वबोध्यन्त राङ्कवाजिनशायिनः। क्रूरं च निनदं श्रुत्वा श्वापदानां महावने॥
