तमेवार्थमनुध्याय ज्ञानं मरणसंभवम् ॥ आसन्वनचराः क्षांता निर्द्वंद्वा निष्परिग्रहाः ॥ २६ ॥

Recollecting the event of their death the forest-roamers became forbearers, free from Dvandvas and averse to taking gifts.

ते सर्वे शुभकर्माणस्सद्धर्माणो वनेचराः ॥ विधर्माचरणैर्हीना जातिस्मरणसिद्धयः ॥ २७॥

The hunters performed auspicious rites, and holy deeds, disassociating themselves from the wicked. They had the power of the memory of the previous birth.

गिरिमध्ये जहुः प्राणाँल्लब्धाहारास्तपस्विनः ॥ तेषां तु पतितानां च यानि स्थानानि भारत ॥ २९ ॥

The ascetics who had obtained food gave up their lives in the middle of the mountain What are the places where they fell down, O Bharatha?
