You kings, Vyasa, therefore, informed us of the wealth of Marutta. If you think that wealth abundant or sufficient, how shall we bring it? What, O Bhima, do you think about this? us When the king, O perpetuator of Kuru's race, said these words, Bhimasena, joining his hands, said these words in reply, The words you have said, O you of mighty arms, on the subject of bringing the riches indicated by Vyasa, are approved by me? If, O powerful one, we succeed in getting the riches kept there by the son of Avikshita, then this sacrifice, o king, purposed by will be easily accomplished! This is what I think. We shall, therefore, bowing our heads to the great Girisha, and off-ring duc adoration to that deity, bring that wealth. Blessed be you. Pleasing that god of gods as companions and followers, in words, thought, and deed, we shall, forsooth, obtain that wealth. Those Kinnaras of dreadful appcarance who are protecting that treasure will certainly veiled to us if the great deity having the bull for his sign, becomes pleased with us! Hearing these words uttered by Bhima, O Bharata, king Yudhishthira the son of Dharma, become highly pleased. The others, headed by Arjuna, at the same time, said, So be it.
