' कियदध्वानमस्माभिर्गन्तव्यमिममी
Yudhisthira -
"How much of this way have we thus
got to go ?"
देवदूतोऽब्रवीच्चैनम् ' एतावद्गमनं तव' ॥
him :
The messenger of the gods replied to
him : " Thus far is your progress."
स सन्निवृत्तः शु
"भो भो धर्मज राजर्षे तिष्ठ तावन्मुहूर्तकम् ।
त्वयि तिष्ठति कौरव्य यातनाऽस्मान्न बाधते ॥'
Returning, Yudhisthira heard words of
distress from all sides : "Oh royal saint!
son of Dharma! stop for a while ; when
you, scion of Kuru, stand (before us), the
torture does not afflict us."
अहो कृच्छ्रमिति प्राह तस्थौ स च युधिष्ठिरः।
उवाच 'के भवन्तो वै किमर्थमिह तिष्ठथ ॥
' Alas ! What torture !" said Yudhisthira
and stopped. He said (then ) : " Who
are you? Why are you here?"
