Pandavas Move from Dvaitavana to Kamyaka
Yudhishthira, carrying Vyasa's secret knowledge in his mind, leads his brothers and their brahmana followers out of Dvaitavana and into the forest of Kamyaka on the banks of the Sarasvati. There, the exiled princes establish a new rhythm of life — archery, Vedic study, hunting, and offerings to the ancestors.
Yudhishthira held the knowledge close. Vyasa had given him something — a teaching, a seed — and he nurtured it in his mind, repeating it to himself from time to time, letting it settle. The words of the sage had made him happy. And so, when the time came, he was ready to leave.
He led them out of the forest of Dvaitavana and toward the forest of Kamyaka, on the banks of the river Sarasvati. Behind him came the brahmana ascetics — men learned in words and sounds, devoted to their vows — following him as the rishis follow Indra, the king of the gods. And behind them came his brothers: Bhimasena, Arjuna, Nakula, Sahadeva, and all their followers and advisers.
When they arrived at Kamyaka, the great-souled bulls among the Bharatas made it their home. They lived there for some time, settling into a new rhythm. The warriors — the kshatriyas — engaged themselves in the science of archery, drawing and releasing until the motions were second nature. They listened to the supreme Vedas, letting the ancient syllables fill the forest air. Every day they went out on hunts, seeking deer, bringing them down with pure arrows. And in accordance with the rites, they offered oblations to the ancestors, to the gods, and to the brahmanas.
It was exile. But it was not idleness. Aranyaka Parva, Chapter 334
