Verse 16·VR 2.49.16
न अत्यर्थम् अभिकान्क्षामि मृगयाम् सरयू वने | रतिर् हि एषा अतुला लोके राज ऋषि गण सम्मता || २-४९-१६ राजर्षीणाम् हि लोकेऽस्मिन् रत्यर्थम् मृगया वने | काले कृताम् ताम् मनुजैर्धन्विनामभिकाङ्क्षिताम् || २-४९-१७
Translation
"I do not hanker much after hunting in the woodlands bordering on Sarayu river. In fact it is a delightful spot, made much of in the world by hosts of royal sages. Hunting in the forest is indeed for gratification of royal sages in this world. At times; the bow- men adopted it. But I do not long for it excessively."
