King Bhishma, son of the Ganges and

Santanu, gave leave to Yudhisthira and

his ministers and told him sweetly:
 

 
'प्रविश स्वपुरीं राजन् धर्मे च त्घ्रियतां मनः ।

श्रेयसा योक्ष्यसे चैव व्येतु ते मानसो ज्वरः ।

आगन्तव्यं च भवता प्रवृत्ते चोत्तरायणे ॥'

"King, go to your City; let your mind

be set on Dharma ; son of Pritha (Kunti) !

You will attain good fortune; let your

mind's fever disappear ; you must come

(here again to me) when the sun has

begun to go northwards from the South."
 

 
तथेत्युक्त्वा च कौन्तेयः प्रययौ नागसाह्वयम् ।

उषित्वा शर्वरीः श्रीमान् पञ्चाशन्नगरोत्तमे ।

दृष्ट्वा निवृत्तमादित्यं पारिबर्हेण संवृतः ।

आससाद कुरुक्षेत्रे ततश्शान्तनवं नृपः ॥
