And Bhima, O king, hath gone away looking at his own mighty arms. And Jishnu (Arjuna) hath gone away, following the king spreading sand-grains around. And Sahadeva, the son of Madri, hath gone away besmearing his face, and Nakula, the handsomest of men, O king, hath gone away, staining himself with dust and his heart in great affliction. And the large-eyed and beautiful Krishna hath gone away, covering her face with her dishevelled hair following in the wake of the king, weeping and in tears. And O monarch, Dhaumya goeth along the road, with kusa grass in hand, and uttering the aweful mantras of Sama Veda that relate to Yama.' > — Kisari Mohan Ganguli 1883, The Mahabharata of Krishna-Dwaipayana Vyasa - [Previous: 2.71.3](https://indike.org/pramana/in.lit.mahabharata.vyasa.2.71.3) - [Next: 2.71.5](https://indike.org/pramana/in.lit.mahabharata.vyasa.2.71.5) - [Up: 2.71](https://indike.org/pramana/in.lit.mahabharata.vyasa.2.71) ## Translations (1) - [The Mahabharata of Krishna-Dwaipayana Vyasa](https://indike.org/pramana/in.lit.mahabharata.vyasa~en-ganguli.2.79.2) — Kisari Mohan Ganguli 1883, English ## Other recensions (1) - [Vulgate (Nīlakaṇṭha's text)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.lit.mahabharata.vyasa*vulgate.2.80.5) — Sanskrit --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.lit.mahabharata.vyasa.2.71.4](https://indike.org/pramana/in.lit.mahabharata.vyasa.2.71.4) · Pramāṇa
