शुध्रुवे पितरं वृद्धं निर्यान्तं गजसाहूयात् ।
शोचमानो [महाराज] भ्रातृभिस्साहितस्तदा ।
अन्वीयमानो वीरेण दाशार्हेण महात्मना ।
ववन्दे पितरं ज्येष्ठं धर्मराजो युधिष्ठिरः ॥
 
The grieving Yudhisthira heard that
his old uncle was coming out from
Hastinapura; along with his brothers and
accompanied by the great and heroic
Krishna, he paid his respects to his
eldest uncle.
 
तमात्मजान्तकरणं पिता पुत्रवधार्दितः ।
अप्रीयमाणश्शोकार्तः पाण्डवं परिषस्वजे ।
दुष्टात्मा भीममन्वैच्छद्दिधभुरिव पावकः ॥
 
Tormented on account of the slaughter
of his sons and stricken with sorrow, the
father, Dhritarashtra, embraced Yudhisthira
who had killed his sons, without liking him.
The evil-minded Dhritarashtra (then) sought
for Bhima, wishing to burn him like fire.
