VIRATA PARVA
 
203
 
"King, the whole world, mountains and
forests included, has been searched every-
where, and we do not find the Pandavas.
That mighty Kichaka who devastated the
 
Trigarta country has been
 
killed in the
 
night by some Gandharvas, on account of
some woman."
 
दुर्योधनः-
' अशातसमये शाताः प्रविशेयुः पुनर्वनम् ।
शङ्के कृष्णानिमित्तं तु भीमसेनेन कीचकः ।
गन्धर्वव्यपदेशेत हतो निशि महाबलः ॥
 
Duryodhana-
"If the Pandavas are found out in their
incognito life, they shall enter the forest
again. I suspect, it is on account of
Draupadi that the mighty Kichaka was
killed at night by Bhimasena, under pretext
of being a Gandharva.
 
'faqzanè azð grozarşgaantur: ॥
 
"I think, it is in Virata's capital that
the Pandavas are living concealed.
