Then \*Vyāsa\* disappeared. The \*Pāṇḍavas\* went to the forest of \*Kāmyaka\* on the banks of the \*Sarasvatī\*, followed by numerous brahmans versed in \*çikṣā\* and \*akṣara\* (see § 322), and lived there devoted to the \*Dhanurveda\*, and sacrificing to the \*Pitṛs\*, the gods, and the brahmans (III, 36). - [Previous: c5.s7.163](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.sorensen-1904.c5.s7.163) - [Next: c5.s7.165](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.sorensen-1904.c5.s7.165) - [Up: c5.s7](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.sorensen-1904.c5.s7) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.sorensen-1904.c5.s7.164](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.sorensen-1904.c5.s7.164) · Pramāṇa
