Pandavas Relocate to Kamyaka Forest
Yudhishthira tells his brothers about the deer's plea and proposes moving to Kamyaka forest. The Pandavas, together with the brahmanas and their servants, swiftly depart Dvaitavana and travel along an excellent road to the sacred hermitage of Kamyaka — a place populated by ascetics, where they will spend the remainder of their exile.
Yudhishthira had given his word to the deer in a dream. When morning came, he told his brothers what had happened.
"The deer that still remain spoke to me last night. They said, 'Only a few of us remain as seed. You should show compassion towards us.' They spoke the truth. We have lived on them for one year and eight months. We should show compassion towards those who live in the forest."
He proposed a new home: Kamyaka forest, a place full of deer, located at the head of the desert near the lake of Trinabindu. "Let us pleasantly pass the rest of our time there."
The Pandavas, learned in dharma, did not delay. They left swiftly — together with the brahmanas who lived with them, followed by Indrasena and the other servants. They took an excellent road, one full of superb grain and pure water.
Soon they saw the sacred hermitage of Kamyaka, populated by ascetics. Surrounded by the bulls among the brahmanas, the Pandavas entered it — like virtuous ones entering heaven. Aranyaka Parva, Chapter 541
