Sanskrit Original
ऋक्षवन्तं गिरिवरं विन्ध्यं च नगमुत्तमम। अन्वेषयत्परिश्रान्तः स ददर्श महामनाः।।
ṛkṣavantaṃ girivaraṃ vindhyaṃ ca nagamuttamam| anveṣayatpariśrāntaḥ sa dadarśa mahāmanāḥ||
Sūta said:: Accompanied by a few citizens who were trustworthy and obedient to him, the lord roamed about in the forest where Prasena had been hunting and where Prasena’s footprints could be traced. He searched the excellent mountains Ṛkṣavān and Vindhya and became tired. In the end the noble-minded lord saw Prasena who had been killed along with his horse. But he did not get the jewel there (on his person). Thereafter, the lion was seen killed by a bear not far from the body of Prasena. This had been indicated by the footprints of the bear. The Scion of the family of Yadu (i.e. lord Kṛṣṇa) traced the foot-prints to the cave of a bear.
