युधिष्ठिरस्येव हि दर्शनेन मे; समं तवेदं परिय दर्श दर्शनम कथं तु भृत्यैः स विनाकृतॊ वने; वसत्य अनिन्द्यॊ रमते च पाण्डवः ॥ ४-११-११ ॥

'For you have the bearing of a king, and I hold you in high regard. Your presence here pleases me no less than if Yudhishṭhira himself were standing before me. Ah, how does that blameless son of Pāṇḍu live and find joy in the forest, now bereft of attendants and royal comforts?' ॥ 4-11-11 ॥

english translation

[वै] तथा स गन्धर्ववरॊपमॊ युवा; विराट राज्ञा मुदितेन पूजितः न चैनम अन्ये ऽपि विदुः कथं चन; परियाभिरामं विचरन्तम अन्तरा ॥ ४-११-१२ ॥

'Vaiśampāyana continued: "That youthful prince, radiant like a chief among the Gandharvas, was honoured with great respect by the delighted King Virāṭa. Dwelling there, he conducted himself with such grace and charm that he became dear and agreeable to all within the palace."' ॥ 4-11-12 ॥

english translation

एवं हि मत्स्ये नयवसन्त पाण्डवा; यथाप्रतिज्ञाभिर अमॊघदर्शनाः अज्ञातचर्यां वयचरन समाहिताः; समुद्रनेमिपतयॊ ऽतिदुःखिताः ॥ ४-११-१३ ॥

'Yet none recognized him while he lived under Virāṭa’s protection. Thus did the sons of Pāṇḍu—those whose very presence never went without impact— continue to dwell in the kingdom of the Matsyas. True to their vow, those lords of the earth, whose domains once stretched to the ocean's edge, bore their days in concealment with calm resolve, despite the deep anguish that weighed upon them.' ॥ 4-11-13 ॥
