Source: archive.org: Puranic EncyclopediaKāmyakavana (काम्यकवन).—The Pāṇḍavas lived in this forest for a long time, during their forest life. At that time, several sages were performing penance in Kāmyakavana. Vidura who went out in search of the Pāṇḍavas met them in this forest. After that Sañjaya went to Kāmyakavana and took Vidura with him. It was in this forest that the Pāṇḍavas met sages Mārkaṇḍeya and Nārada. (Mahābhārata Vana Parva).
