Thus congratulating the illustrious and greatly powerful Bhima, Arjuna thus again addressed Vrikodara, "O lord, I believe there is a town not far off from this forest. O blessed one, let us soon go from this place, so that Duryodhana may not trace us."
अभिपूज्य महात्मानं भीमं भीमपराक्रमम्। पुनरेवार्जुनो वाक्यमुवाचेदं वृकोदरम्॥ न दूरं नगरं मन्ये वनादस्मादहं विभो। शीघ्रं गच्छाम भद्रं ते न नो विद्यात् सुयोधनः॥
