The Pandavas gradually entered into the forest of the Gandhamadana, like unto the Nandana gardens, delightful to the mind and heart and worthy of being inhabited and having beautiful groves. Then with their down standing erect, they saw the mountain Gandhamadana, the abode of Kimpurushas, frequented by Siddhas and Charanas and ranged by Vidyadharis and Kinnaris and inhabited by herds of elephants and thronged with lions and tigers and resounding with the roars of Sharabhas and attended by various beasts. They arrived at the sacred and mighty mountain resounding with the cries of birds and beasts and covered with various trees and creepers and inhabited by monkeys, and romantic and furnished with many lotus-lakes and having marshes and extensive forests. Dhaumya, Draupadi, the Parthas and the mighty sage Lomasha went on in a body and none grew tired. Over and over they passed with ease many inaccessible rocks and exceedingly impassable caves of the mountain. Taking the way directed by Vrishaparva, they reached one by one the intended places, beholding various mountains. Having dwelt at the mountain slopes, densely overgrown with trees, he, on the fourth day reached the Shveta mountain, like unto a mighty mass of clouds, abounding in streams and consisting of a mass of gold and gems. Then Yudhishthira, together with his brothers, began to proceed on foot along the mountain path, inhabited by various kinds of beasts. Then having entrusted the Pandavas unto the care of the Brahmanas, instructed, blessed them and given directions concerning their course, Vrishaparva retraced his steps. As they set out, Vrishaparva followed them to a certain distance. Then taking his permission, they set out towards the north. Wise and pious and versed in every duty and having a knowledge of the past as well as the future, Vrishaparva gave instructions unto the Pandavas as unto his own sons. The Brahmanas remained in his charge as friends and having also entrusted Vrishaparva with their remaining robes, the Pandavas left in the hermitage of Vrishaparva their sacrificial vessels together with their ornaments and jewels. When the eighth day came, taking the permission of Vrishaparva, they prepared to start on their journey. The Pandavas passed there seven nights, duly regarded. He received with affection the Pandavas as his own sons. When the Pandavas had recovered from fatigue, they went to Vrishaparva and greeted him. Not far from the Gandhamadana, Pandu's son beheld on the sacred slopes of the Himavan covered with various trees and creepers the holy hermitage of Vrishaparva surrounded by blossoming trees growing near the cascades. Beholding on the way the mountain Mainaka and the base of the Gandhamadana and that rocky mass Shveta and many a crystal rivulet higher and higher up the mountain, he reached on the seventeenth day the sacred slopes of the Himalayas. Then king Yudhishthira, apprehending many troubles, proceeded towards the north abounding in lions and tigers and elephants. That one of mighty energy, and of staunch vows, with his brothers, at places went on foot and at others were carried by the Rakshasas. Then in obedience to these words of the ascetics, Yudhishthira set out with his brothers and those Brahmanas, followed by the Rakshasa and protected by Lomasha. Gaining the earth by the Kshatriya virtue, you shall govern it.вЂќ These troubles shall result in happiness. Thereupon the Brahmanas gave their assent, saying, вЂњThis shall be attended by prosperity and welfare. Having said this, the Pandava summoned the Brahmanas, and the sons of Pritha having gone round the ascetics of rigid austerities and thereby pleased them, informed them of the matter mentioned above. In that place like unto the region of the gods, shall we behold the wielder of Gandiva, arrive after having obtained the weapons.вЂќ We also, eagerly anxious of meeting him on his arrival have made up our minds to repair there. It has been appointed by Arjuna that about the fifth year he will come to that monarch of mountains, the excellent cliff Shveta. Once in Gandhamadana, remembering his brother Arjuna, Yudhishthira summoned all his brothers, together with Draupadi and said these words, вЂњWe have passed these four years peacefully ranging the woods. The Pandavas travel to Vrishaparva and Arshtishena Bhima fights with the Yakshas and kills Kubera's friend Maniman
