O foremost of the Kurus, do not tell anyone that I live here. O greatly powerful one, the most excellent wives of celestials and the Gandharvas frequent this place. The time of their coming is near. My eyes are blessed (by seeing you). O Bhima, having come in contact (again) with a human being (yourself). I have mentally felt (the presence of) that son of Raghu, who was Vishnu himself in the name of Rama, who was the delight of the whole world and who was the blazing sun to that lotus Sita and to that darkness, Ravana. Therefore, O hero, O son of Kunti, let not your interview with me be futile.
इहस्थश्च कुरुश्रेष्ठ न निवेद्योऽस्मि कर्हिचित्। धनदस्यालयाच्चापि विसृष्टानां महाबल॥ देशकाल इहायातुं देवगन्धर्वयोषिताम्। ममापि सफलं चक्षुः स्मारितश्चास्मि राघवम्॥ रामाभिधानं विष्णुं हि जगद्धृदयनन्दनम्। सीतावक्त्रारविन्दाङ दशास्यध्वान्तभास्करम्॥ मानुषं गात्रसंस्पर्शं गत्वा भीम त्वया सह। तदस्मद्दर्शनं वीर कौन्तेयामोघमस्तु ते॥
