प्रक्षिप्य कृतकृत्यं स्वमात्मानं मन्यते तदा ॥ १.१३९.१ ॥

इहागम्य क्व नु गतस्त्वया वा प्रेषितः क्व नु ॥ १.१३९.७ ॥
O greatly fortunate one, we have come here with troubled hearts. Having come here, where has he gone, or where did you send him?

इत्युक्ता च ततः कुन्ती धर्मराजेन धीमता ॥ १.१३९.९ ॥
I think Bhīma is asleep, not slain. Thus addressed by the wise king of dharma, then Kuntī...

द्रुतं गत्वा पुरोद्यानं विचिन्वन्तिस्म पाण्डवाः ॥ १.१३९.११ ॥
'Quickly make an effort to search for him with his younger brothers.' Then the Pāṇḍavas swiftly went to the garden in front and began searching.

क्रूरोऽसौ दुर्मतिः क्षुद्रो राज्यलुब्धोऽनपत्रपः ॥ १.१३९.१७ ॥
He never pleases the eye of Duryodhana; that cruel, ill-minded, base, kingdom-greedy, shameless man.

तेन मे व्याकुलं चित्तं हृदयं दह्यतीव च ॥ १.१३९.१८ ॥
Suyodhana, filled with rage, might kill even that hero; because of this my mind is agitated and my heart burns as if on fire.

प्रत्यादिष्टो हि दुष्टात्मा शेषेऽपि प्रहरेत्तव ॥ १.१३९.१९ ॥

तस्मिंस्तदा रसे जीर्णे सोऽप्रमेयबलो बली ॥ १.१३९.२२ ॥

तं दृष्ट्वा प्रतिबुध्यन्तं पाण्डवं ते भुजङ्गमाः ।
सान्त्वयामासुरव्यग्रा वचनं चेदमब्रुवन् ॥ १.१३९.२३ ॥
Seeing the Pāṇḍava awaken, those serpents, untroubled, comforted him and spoke these words.

गच्छाद्य त्वं च स्वगृहं स्नातो दिव्यैरिमैर्जलैः ।
भ्रातरस्तेऽनुतप्यन्ति त्वां विना कुरुपुङ्गव ॥ १.१३९.२५ ॥
Now go to your own home, bathed in these divine waters. Your brothers grieve without you, bull of the Kurus.

Honored by the serpents and greeted with blessings, the hero, adorned with divine ornaments, took leave of the Nāgas, the Pāṇḍava.

उत्क्षिप्य च तदा नागैर्जलाज्जलरुहेक्षणः ॥ १.१३९.२९ ॥
Joyful at heart, the tamer of enemies rose from the world of the Nāgas, and then the Nāgas lifted the lotus-eyed one up out of the water.
1.139.30

ते चान्तर्दधिरे नागाः पाण्डवस्यैव पश्यतः ॥ १.१३९.३० ॥

भ्रातृभिः सहितः सर्वैरप्रमत्तोऽभवत्तदा ।
यदा त्ववगतास्ते वै पाण्डवास्तस्य कर्म तत् ॥ १.१३९.३८ ॥
Then, together with his brothers, all of them became vigilant. When the Pāṇḍavas had been discovered, that was his deed.

धर्मात्मा विदुरस्तेषां प्रददौ मतिमान्मतिम् ॥ १.१३९.३९ ॥
Yet they were not often careful in guarding their counsel. The righteous-souled and wise Vidura gave them advice.
