पञ्चभिः सूर्यसंकाशैः सूर्येण च विराजता । षट्सूर्येवाबभौ पृथ्वी पाण्डवैः सत्यविक्रमैः ॥
ततो निमित्ते कस्मिंश्चिद्धर्मराजो युधिष्ठिरः । वनं प्रस्थापयामास भ्रातरं वै धनंजयम् ॥
English Translation
And the earth appeared to have six suns on account of the presence of the heroic Pandavas. Then for the just king Yudhishthira sent to the forest his greatly powerful and heroic brother Savyasachin (Arjuna), dearer to him than life itself.
स वै संवत्सरं पूर्णं मासं चैकं वनेऽवसत् । ततोऽगच्छद्धृषीकेशं द्वारवत्यां कदाचन ॥
लब्धवांस्तत्र बीभत्सुर्भार्यां राजीवलोचनाम् । अनुजां वासुदेवस्य सुभद्रां भद्रभाषिणीम् ॥

अतर्पयच्च कौन्तेयः खाण्डवे हव्यवाहनम् । बीभत्सुर्वासुदेवेन सहितो नृपसत्तम ॥

Subhadra was much pleased to be united with Arjuna, the son of Pandu. O best of kings, the son of Kunti with Krishna then gratified Agni by giving him the Khandava to burn, The task did not at all appear heavy to Arjuna, assisted as he was by Krishna.
नातिभारो हि पार्थस्य केशवेनाभवत्सह । व्यवसायसहायस्य विष्णोः शत्रुवधेष्विव ॥
पार्थायाग्निर्ददौ चापि गाण्डीवं धनुरुत्तमम् । इषुधी चाक्षयैर्बाणै रथं च कपिलक्षणम् ॥
English Translation
As nothing is a heavy task to Vishnu, in the matter of destroying his enemies. Agni gave to the son of Pritha the excellent bow Gandiva.
मोक्षयामास बीभत्सुर्मयं तत्र महासुरम् । स चकार सभां दिव्यां सर्वरत्नसमाचिताम् ॥
तस्यां दुर्योधनो मन्दो लोभं चक्रे सुदुर्मतिः । ततोऽक्षैर्वञ्चयित्वा च सौबलेन युधिष्ठिरम् ॥
वनं प्रस्थापयामास सप्त वर्षाणि पञ्च च । अज्ञातमेकं राष्ट्रे च तथा वर्षं त्रयोदशम् ॥
ततश्चतुर्दशे वर्षे याचमानाः स्वकं वसु । नालभन्त महाराज ततो युद्धमवर्तत ॥
ततस्ते सर्वमुत्साद्य हत्वा दुर्योधनं नृपम् । राज्यं विद्रुतभूयिष्ठं प्रत्यपद्यन्त पाण्डवाः ॥
