Sanskrit Original
पुरोचनभयादेव व्यदधात् संवृत्तं मुखम्। स तस्य तु गृहद्वारि वसत्यशुभधीः सदा॥ तत्र ते सायुधाः सर्वे वसन्ति स्म क्षपां नृप॥ दिवा चरन्ति मृगयां पाण्डवेया वनाद् वनम्। विश्वस्तवदविश्वस्ता वञ्चयन्तः पुरोचनम्। अतुष्टा तुष्टवद् राजन्नूषुः परमविस्मिताः॥
For the fear of Purochana, its mouth was thus covered. He (Purochana) kept a constant watch at the gate of the house. O king, they the (Pandavas) lived in the night in it with arms ready for use; and in the day they hunted from forests to forests. Thus lived they very guardedly deceiving Purochana with a show of trustfulness and contentment while in reality they were trustless and discontented.
