Sanskrit Original
ते द्वादशं वर्षमुपोपयातं वने विहर्तुं कुरवः प्रतीताः। तस्माद् वनाच्चैत्ररथप्रकाशात श्रिया ज्वलन्तस्तपसा च युक्ताः॥ ततश्च यात्वा मरुधन्वपार्श्व सदाधनुर्वेदरतिप्रधानाः। सरस्वतीमेत्य निवासकामाः सरस्ततो द्वैतवनं प्रतीयुः॥
And when the twelfth of their forest life had arrived, those descendants of the Kurus, blazing in splendour, engaged in asceticism and given principally to the practice of archery, leaving that forest looking like that of Chitraratha, repaired gladly towards the confines of the desert. Thence they arrived at the banks of the river Sarasvati and therefrom desirous of dwelling there repaired to the Lake Dvaitavana.
