Verse 13

¹³One day Vijaya mounted his chariot with the monkey on its banner, took up the Gandiva bow and the two quivers whose arrows are never used up, ¹⁴and in his armour, with Krsna, that killer of the enemy's heroes went into the woods and forest to roam, thick with beasts of prey and with deer. ¹⁵There he shot with arrows tigers, boars, buffaloes, antelope, sarabhas, wild oxen, rhinoceroses, deer, hares and porcupines. ¹⁶The servants took those that were fit for the offering to the king, since a holy day was near. Arjuna, caught by thirst and worn out, went to the Yamuna. ¹⁷There the two great chariot fighters, the two Krsnas, sipped and drank the clear water, and saw a girl walking there, lovely to look at.

¹⁸Sent by his friend, Phalguna went up to that best of women, fair-hipped, fine-toothed, with a lovely face, and asked her: ¹⁹Who are you, whose are you, fair one, and where from, and what do you mean to do? I think you are wanting a husband. Tell me everything, lovely one.
