॥ अथ मौसलपर्व ॥
 
MAUSALA PARVA
 
षट्त्रिंशे त्वथ संप्राप्ते वर्षे कौरवनन्दनः ।
ददर्श विपरीतानि निमित्तानि युधिष्ठिरः ॥
 
When the thirty-sixth year after the
battle came, Yudhisthira saw inauspicious
portents.
 
अथ पश्यन्हृषीकेशः संप्राप्तं कालपर्ययम् ।
गान्धारी यद् व्याजहार चिकीर्षुस्सत्यमेव तत् ।
आशापयामास तदा तीर्थयात्रा मरिन्दमः ॥
 
Observing then the change in the times
that had taken place and desiring to
make true what Gandhari had said
(namely, that the kinsmen of Krishna
would perish, killing each other ), Krishna,
the subduer of his enemies, ordered an
excursion to a water-side.
