शुध्श्रुवे पितरं वृद्धं निर्यान्तं गजसाहूह्वयात् ।

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 भीममन्वैच्छद्दिधभुक्षुरिव 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.
