Mahabharata Adiparva Jatugrihaparva section 151-154
Sri Sadgurubhyoh Namah
The people of Varanavata wail for pandavas unknowing that they escaped.
on hearing the news Dhritarashtra and kauravas also put up a show of mourning except Vidura who knows the reality.
Bhima lets the other pandavas and Kunti to rest under a banian tree and goes in search of water to quench thirst. He comes back and sees the Pandavas and Kunti lying on bare forest land, exhausted, and sleeping. Bhima is filled with wrath and starts sighing like a snake. He laments the plight of pandavas and says "Let Kauravas and Duryodhan celebrate their temporary success. Because I do not have permission of my elder brother Yudhistir, I cannot take any action against Kauravas, otherwise I can kill all of them in one battle. It is the good fortune that Yudhistir's anger is not roused still".

Vidura sends a boat-man and arranges for a boat for Pandavas. They cross the river Ganga and press towards south. After crossing the river, at the command of Yudhistir, Bhima again carry his brothers and press forward in the terrible jungle. The whole jungle seemed to tremble at the speed of Bhima.
