3.145.42

tatra devānpitṝṃścaiva tarpayantaḥ punaḥ punaḥ |
brāhmaṇaiḥ sahitā vīrā nyavasanpuruṣarṣabhāḥ || 42 ||

And hard by the gigantic jujube, the mighty son of Kunti saw the Bhagirathi of easy descent and cool and furnished with fresh lotuses and having stairs made of rubies and corals and graced with trees and scattered over with celestial flowers, and gladsome to the mind. And at that spot, frequented by celestials and sages, and extremely inaccessible, they, after having purified themselves offered oblations unto the pitris and the gods and the rishis in the sacred waters of the Bhagirathi. Thus those bulls among men the heroic perpetuators of the Kuru race, began to reside there with the Brahmanas offering oblations and practising meditation. And those tigers among men, the Pandavas of the god-like appearance, felt delight in witnessing the various amusements of Draupadi."

Kisari Mohan Ganguli 1883, The Mahabharata of Krishna-Dwaipayana Vyasa
