Janamejaya said : O Brahmana, when those foremost of men, the sons of Pritha, were passing their days in the forest exposed to the inclemencies of the winter and the summer, of the wind and the sun, what did they do after they had reached the lake and the forest named Dvaita?
जनमेजय उवाच एवं वने वर्तमाना नराम्याः शीतोष्णवातातपकर्शिताङ्गाः। सरस्तदासाद्य वनं च पुण्यं ततः परं किमकुर्वन्त पार्थाः॥
