शङ्खांश्च चन्द्रसङ्काशांश्चित्रावर्तविचित्रितान्। यज्ञस्य तोरणे युक्तान्ददौ तालांश्चतुर्दश
He gave conch shells shining like the moon, adorned with beautiful whorls, and fourteen palm trees set up at the gateway of the sacrifice.

चन्दनानि च मुख्यानि वासांसि विविधानि च। स ददौ सहदेवाय तदा राजा विभीषणाः
He gave the finest sandalwood and various garments; at that time, King Vibhishana gave all these to Sahadeva.
तानि सर्वाणि रत्नानि आजह्रुस्ते निशाचराः। अष्टाशीतिसहस्राणि समदा रक्तलोचनाः
All those jewels were brought by the night-stalkers, eighty-eight thousand in number, red-eyed and giving them equally.

Having taken all the jewels, Ghatotkacha set out, after bowing with joined palms to King Vibhishana.
प्रदक्षिणं परीत्यैव निर्जगाम घटोत्कचः। ततो रत्नान्युपादाय हैडिम्बो राक्षसैः सह
After circling him to the right, Ghatotkacha departed; then, taking the jewels, the son of Hidimba left with the Rakshasas.
जगाम तूर्णं लङ्कायाः सहदेवपदं प्रति। आसेदुः पाण्डवं सर्वे लङ्घयित्वा महोदधिम्
He quickly went from Lanka toward Sahadeva; all of them crossed the great ocean and reached the Pandava.
सहदेवो ददर्शाथ रत्नाहारान्निशाचरान्। आगतान्भीमसङ्काशान्हैडिम्बं च तथा नृप
Sahadeva saw the jewel-bearers, the night-stalkers, who had arrived and resembled Bhima, and also the son of Hidimba, O king.

Seeing the Dravidas and the Rakshasas, they fled, terrified; then Bhimasena's son approached the son of Madri and stood with joined palms.

The Pandava was pleased to see that heap of jewels; embracing him with his hands, he was gladdened on seeing them.
विसृज्य द्रविडान्सर्वान्गमनायोपचक्रमे। न्यवर्तम ततो धीमान्सहदेवो नराधिपः
Dismissing all the Dravidas, he prepared to depart; then the wise king Sahadeva turned back.
एवं विजित्य तरसा सान्त्वेन विजयेन च। करदान्पार्थिवान्कृत्वा प्रत्यागच्छदरिन्दमः
Thus, having conquered with force, conciliation, and victory, he made the kings pay tribute and the subduer of enemies returned.
रत्नसालमुपादाय ययौ सहनिशाचरः। इन्द्रप्रस्थं विवेशाथ कम्पयन्निव मेदिनीम्
Taking the hall of jewels, the night-wanderer departed; he entered Indraprastha, as if shaking the earth.
दृष्ट्वा युधिष्ठिरं राजन्सहदेवः कृताञ्जलिः। प्रह्वोऽभिवाद्य तस्थौ स पूजितश्चापि तेन वै
Seeing Yudhishthira, Sahadeva, with joined palms, bowed low and stood before him, honored by the king.
लङ्काप्राप्तान्धनौघांश्च दृष्ट्वा तान्दुर्लभान्बहून्। प्रीतिमानभवद्राजा विस्मयं परमं ययौ
Beholding the wealth brought from Lanka, so many rare treasures, the king was delighted and filled with utmost wonder.
धर्मराजाय तत्सर्वं निवेद्य भरतर्षभ। कोटीसहस्रमधिकं हिरण्यस्य महात्मने
Reporting all this to Dharmaraja, O best of Bharatas, he presented to the great-souled one more than a crore thousand of gold.
विविधानि च रत्नानि गोजाविमहिषांस्तथा। कृतकर्मा सुखं राजन्नुवास जनमेजय
Various jewels, cows, sheep, and buffaloes as well; having accomplished his task, the king, O Janamejaya, lived happily.

Now I shall speak of Nakula's deeds and his victories, and how he conquered the western regions won by Vasudeva.

सिंहनादेन महता योधानां गर्जितेन च। रथनेमिनिनादैश्च कम्पयन्वसुधामिमाम्
With mighty lion-roars and the thunder of warriors, and the sound of chariot wheels, he shook this earth.

There he obtained much delightful wealth, rich in cattle, grain, and treasures, beloved of Kartikeya, at Rohitaka and Kupadra.

Having defeated the Dasharnas, the son of Pandu advanced against the Shibis, Trigartas, Ambasthas, Malavas, and the five Karpatakas.

He also subdued the Madhyamakeyas, Vatadhanas, and twice-born ones; then, turning back, the dwellers of Pushkara forest.

The bull among men conquered the festival groups and assemblies, and the mighty chiefs dwelling on the banks of the Sindhu.
