The forest was like Brahma's garden: the chanting of the Vedas was always in the air, enlivening it and tranquility seemed to rise from the lake and enfold him. Of course, nothing made Yudhishtira happier than the company of rishis. Early in the morning, they would arrive from their asramas strewn around the lake and stay until late into the night and then come again the next morning. And if they did not, Pandu's eldest son was off, as soon as he had bathed, to seek them out himself.
Truly, Yudhishtira was as happy in the wilderness as he had been in Indraprastha; probably, happier. Yet, he knew that not everyone with him felt as he did. Bheema did not share his brother's joy and neither did Draupadi. These two despised the forest and could not wait for their exile to end. Unlike her husbands, Draupadi had spent no part of her childhood in the wilds.
She was unused to life in the forest and hated every moment of it. Bheema was used to the vana. It made no difference to him where he lived, in a city or a jungle, as long as he was with those he loved.
But Bheema couldn't bear to see Draupadi miserable and he blamed Yudhishtira for her misery. It seemed some evil planet ruled Bheema's life and sapped him with sorrow. He neither ate nor slept as he used to.
Instead, he barely nibbled at the fine food from the Sun God's platter. He would rise from his bed at all hours of the night and walk out alone under the moon and the stars. Often, he walked right round the lake because he hated to sleep. For in his dreams, he helplessly relived the day of the gambling in Hastinapura. Perhaps because of his inordinate physical strength, Bheema was not as strong in his mind as his brothers were.
He had little control over his thoughts and, asleep or awake, visions of their humiliation tortured him. Most of all, he saw Dusasana endlessly hauling Draupadi through the corridors of the palace in Hastinapura, while she screamed at him to stop.
Bheema saw Duryodhana patting his thigh lewdly and calling Panchali to sit in his lap. Bheema knew that only when he had torn Dusasana's heart out of his chest and smashed Duryodhana's thigh would he find any peace. He grew particularly depressed after what Draupadi said to Krishna. Whenever he saw her, grim and downcast around the asrama or staring blankly at the lake, he would stalk away by himself, gnashing his teeth.
Bheema seldom spoke to any of his brothers these days. Once, he had been the most cheerful of them, full of jokes and pranks; but since his outburst in Hastinapura, he had not exchanged a word with Yudhishtira. Bheema was wasting away and Arjuna often tried to mollify him and explain Yudhishtira's reasons for doing what he had done. But Bheema had no patience for fine logic; and even as Arjuna reasoned with him, Draupadi would come out of her kutila, her face a mask.
Bheema would shrug Arjuna off angrily and stalk away by himself. If Draupadi had wanted, she could have brought Bheema round, by telling him she was content to wait out the thirteen years, as she had done to Krishna.
But she was the unhappiest of them all and she did not hesitate to show it. Shatapatha Brahmana 13,54,9 mentions a King named Dvaitavana. It contained within it a lake called the Dwaita lake , abounding with flowers, and delightful to look at, and inhabited by many species of birds, elephants and many trees 3, It was on the south-western outskirts of Kurujangala and thus the whole of the Kuru Kingdom.
It was situated near the borders of the desert northern extension of the Thar desert into Haryana 3, It also lay on the banks of the Saraswati River known there as the Bhogavati River , The holy fig, the Rudraksha, the Rohitaka, the cane and the jujube, the catechu, the Shirisha, the Bel, the Inguda, the Karira, the Pilu and Sami trees grew on the banks of the Saraswati 3, First time : The Pandavas during the initial years of their year exile to the forests, came to the Dvaita Forest from the Kamyaka woods, to avoid frequent visits from the people of Kurujangala.
It was the close of summer at that time the 1st time 3, They then went back to Kamyaka again 3,
