(III, 49).—§ 341: During the five years of Arjuna's absence the Pāndavas fed themselves and 10,000 snātaka brahmans, some with and some without fire, by killing deer, Yudhishthira going towards the east, Bhima towards the south, and the twins towards the west and north (III, 50).—§ 342: Having heard of the way of life of the Pāndavas, Dhrtarāshtra expressed his anxiety before Sañjaya, fearing Bhima with his iron (çaikya) mace, etc. Sañjaya commemorated how Krshna, Dhrshtadyumna, Virāta, Dhrshtaketu, and the Kaikeyas had visited the Pāndavas in the Kāmyaka wood, whose conversations Sañjaya had learnt through spies and formerly told Dhrtarāshtra. Sañjaya further related that Krshna had consented to become the charioteer of *Arjuna* (enumeration of kings seen by *Kṛṣṇa* at the *rājasūya*) and to assist the *Pāṇḍavas* in the battle, together with *Rāma*, *Akrūra*, *Gada*, *Cāmba*, *Pradyumna*, *Ahuka*, *Dhṛṣṭadyumna*, and the son of *Cicipāla*, and *Yuyudhāna*, and the *Kaikeya* and *Pāñcāla* princes and the *Matsya* king, and *Kṛṣṇa* had declared that *Yudhiṣṭhira* should, along with his brothers living at *Hāstinapura*, rule the earth (III, 51).
