For the fear of Purochana, its mouth was thus covered. He (Purochana) kept a constant watch at the gate of the house. O king, they the (Pandavas) lived in the night in it with arms ready for use; and in the day they hunted from forests to forests. Thus lived they very guardedly deceiving Purochana with a show of trustfulness and contentment while in reality they were trustless and discontented.
पुरोचनभयादेव व्यदधात् संवृत्तं मुखम्। स तस्य तु गृहद्वारि वसत्यशुभधीः सदा॥ तत्र ते सायुधाः सर्वे वसन्ति स्म क्षपां नृप॥ दिवा चरन्ति मृगयां पाण्डवेया वनाद् वनम्। विश्वस्तवदविश्वस्ता वञ्चयन्तः पुरोचनम्। अतुष्टा तुष्टवद् राजन्नूषुः परमविस्मिताः॥
