नेच्छन्त्यसत्येन सुरेन्द्रलोकं

Consulting with the many friends in the

night, the high-souled Bhishma told

Duryodhana : "The Ganldiva was twanged

in the midst of the battle by Arjuna who

had observed the condition (of twelve

years of exile and a year of incognito

life ). The sons of Pandu do not want to

enjoy the world of the king of gods or

even the world of Brahma through untruth.
 

 
सञ्चिन्त्य सर्वे सहितास्सुहृद्भि

स्
स्पार्थिवास्स्वानि गृहाणि जग्मुः ॥
 

After thinking this over well, all of

them, with their friends
 
and king
 

Duryodhana, went to their homes.
