O good mother, I do not see him here. Where has he gone? We sought for him long in the gardens and the woods. But we did not find Vrikodara any where. We thought in our mind that he had preceded us.
क्व गतो भविता मातर्नेह पश्यामि तं शुभे। उद्यानानि वनं चैव विचितानि समन्ततः॥ तदर्थं न च तं वीरं दृष्टवन्तो वृकोदरम्। मन्यमानस्ततः सर्वे यातो नः पूर्वमेव सः॥
