VANA PARVA
 
"A vessel containing the Sami sticks

used to kindle fire was hung in a tree.

King, a big stag has taken it and sped

away. Tracking it, king (and) you Pandavas,

bring it back (to me ).

ब्राह्मणार्थे यतन्तस्ते शीघ्रमन्वगमन्मृगम् ।

अपश्यन्तो मृगं श्रान्ता दुःखं प्राप्ता मनस्विनः ।

शीतलच्छायमागम्य न्यग्रोधं समुपाविशन् ॥
 

Making effort in the task of the Brahmin,

the Pandavas quickly went after the deer.

Not finding it, the resolute Pandavas, tired

and sad, came to a Banyan tree of cool

shade and sat down.
 

 
ततो युधिष्ठिरो राजा नकुलं वाक्यमब्रवीत् ।

'पानीयमन्तिके पश्य तूणैः पानीयमानय ' ॥
 

Then king Yudhisthira told Nakula : See

if there is water near-by and bring (some)

water in the quivers."
 

 
नकुलः प्राद्रवद्यत्र पानीयं चान्वपद्यत ।

पातुकामस्ततो वाचमन्तरिक्षात्स शुश्रुवे ॥
