there arose a
wind and there was a big

forest-fire. The blessed Gandhari and

your mother Kunti were consumed by the

forest-fire; and so also, your uncle, the

king (Dhritarashtra ). The intelligent Sanjaya

went away to the Himalaya mountain."
 

 
एतच्छ्रुत्वा तु सर्वेषां शोकस्समभवन्महान् ।

समाश्वास्य तु राजानं नारदोऽप्यगमत्तदा ॥

On hearing this, everybody grieved

very much. After consoling King

Yudhisthira, Narada departed.
